What a revelation!

REVELATORY!! On rare occasion is an actor able to take a competent but flawed script and make it must-see TV. But that's exactly what Kevin Hart did here.

Maybe it was an expectation thing, and I'm not saying Kevin Hart is the next Joaquin Phoenix or Christian Bale or Denzel Washington, but he showed me depth, breadth and gravitas I hadn't seen since Will Smith in Five Degrees of Separation.

True Story seems like anything but. At times it's so incredulous you can hardly tolerate it. But most of the time it's an insightful, intelligent and intuitive look into the life and psyche of a superstar comic brilliantly portrayed by Hart. And yes there are times you can't help but think that parts of this show are true. Are Kevin Hart. Maybe that's why he was so effective at portraying The Kid. But I suspect Hart has opened up a new chapter in his acting career. He was that good. A real revelation.

Add, kudos to the whole cast, especially the wickedly sleazy Wesley Snipes and Billy Zane. But everyone seemed to be firing on all cylinders. Tip of the hat Kevin Hart.
