The United States of Leland

I had seen Colors, but it wasn't until Boogie Nights that I paid attention to Don Cheadle. He's been around a long time and playing with some heavy weights. He is now a heavy weight in his own right. With such films as A Lesson before Dying, Crash and Maniac he's showing his range. In the United States of Leland he plays an aspiring writer. He stumbles across a story in the juvenile detention center where he works. It's an interesting film about how far some people will go to find happiness and achieve success. Kevin Klein, Michelle Williams, Kerry Washington, and Sherrilyn Fenn also show up in this film. If you liked Donnie Darkko, then you'll find interest in this film. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
