_**A powerful socio-political statement disguised as a road-movie**_ >_We'd never talked about it, but I figured you knew the rules. If a cop stopped, you didn't run, you didn't talk back, you didn't ever, ever get angry. White people could do that – hell, they could shoot up a church and then ask for Burger King – but not us.

Quite quickly, things spiral out of control with both her and the cop shot - the latter, fatally. Almost immediately, they become Ohio's most wanted and with just about everyone on their tail. What happens next? On the face if it, the storyline is a little contrived to suit the point the film is trying to make: two innocent African Americ…
