Plots(1)
Years after a drunken car crash that almost took his life, Tommy Carter (Anthony Mackie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier) has reinvented himself as a successful therapist and life coach. When his book release catches the attention of Angel Sanchez (Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker), a profoundly disturbed man fixated on the "untimely" death of his mother, Carter takes him on as a personal client. Things quickly take a turn for the worse as Angel dangerously spirals out of control. (Universal Pictures US)

Forest Whitaker masterfully handles a character who is somewhat schizophrenic in the sense that you can look at him with both understanding and hatred. His character is very ambivalent, which is the main reason to watch the film because he brilliantly portrays all aspects of it. That the character then becomes hardly believable in terms of the story is a mistake on the part of the screenwriters, just like the ending, which rustles so unpleasantly that it's not nice. When the script is bad, even great actors can't save it.
