Has anyone seen Fruitvale Station?

Really want to see this movie....we have a busy weekend as we are painting a room so may catch it next weekend. I remember when this happened...outrageous.

Huge hit at Sundance...wouldn't be surprised if it got some Oscar noms.

Fruitvale BART station is (in)famous because Oscar Grant was gunned down there by a BART cop (not Bartcop!)

I see it (the station, not the movie) every few weeks when I travel up to the East Bay.

The first half was somewhat slow. By the time the movie ended, the reason was apparent. We were supposed to see the main character as just a guy, with flaws, trying to get by. Whatever his flaws, he didn't deserve what happened to him. It's a good movie and I recommend it.
