Before very recently I never heard of Nick Cannon. But he has been on my personal radar for marrying Mariah Carey recently, and for that I have great admiration for him. Since she is now 40 and he is still in his 20s he might be her boy-toy, but I admire him anyway.
Here Nick Cannon is Mike, coming home by bus to his California neighborhood after completing basic training as a Marine. There he meets pretty Melonie Diaz as Cristina and they form a quick, unlikely friendship. Unlikely because people don't usually meet on the Greyhound.
I also enjoyed seeing Chi McBride of "Boston Public" TV fame, as Mike's dad, Eddie. And Tom Sizemore as Mike's step-dad, Dale.
Mike has 4 days, 96 hours, to enjoy the Thanksgiving holidays with family and friends, and new girlfriend, before going where no young man wants to go. Iraq is today what Viet Nam was to us in the 1960s.
Good, small movie, probably shot on a small budget. I came away impressed with Nick Cannon as an actor. I look forward to seeing him in other roles.
