109. I guess it all depends on how much race and racism have an effect on you..
I'm a white guy married to an African American woman. We both thought it was a great movie, but then again we talk a lot about race and race plays a part in our lives.

I think it bothered people to have to confront their prejudices. For instance, the hispanic locksmith. I'll be everyone who saw the movie thought this guys was going to something bad. I did and I've got no problems admitting it. But at least I'm not suppressing those feelings and pretend they don't exist.

You are wrong. I thought it was a great movie.
