Needed a better young actor in the lead role to make the movie believable. Justice Smith didn't bring anything but blandness to the role. Even at the end when he was supposed to suddenly speak up about race relations, there was no realism to it. It was just dialogue he was acting out. It seemed so fake because now was he going to an outspoken blackman all his life? Constantly speaking up about racism? I can't imagine he would do anything other than go back to being bland like he had been the whole length of the movie. So basically a bad unbelievable ending made the whole movie feel like a waste of time.
In contrast, David Allen Grier was good. Really, he was the only reason to watch.
