Clever movie about the White rage that seeks to express itself outwardly rather than adopt a reasonable perspective on their own personal problems and actually solve them.

The movie does not analyse why Whites are so angry that they need to invent alter egos as a means of evading their guilt feelings about such violent emotions. This is one of the reasons the explicit violence makes so much sense, dramatically.

However, this lack of depth negatively affects the characterizations which are helped, nonetheless, by first-class actors who part makeup for this lack.
