It was direct-to-video. |

I saw that the other day on cable too. I liked it a lot more than I should have. Probably because "Trinity" was in it. But I did like SLJ's character, he was ruthless! |

I wonder why that was. It had a really good cast, it portrayed a relevant topic, and I found it more entertaining than 95% of the garbage Hollywood has come out with in the last couple of years that I've sat through and watched/paid for. Seems kinda strange to me. |

Not sure if you are trying be silly or not, but Soul Man is an entirely different movie than Soul Man.
My favoite SLJ movie? Amos and Andrew, of course. I didn't know until today that he was in The Exterminator. A great flick to be sure but can't be counted as "his" film. |

So there are two films called Soul Man? I only know of the one with C. Thomas Howell where he becomes Black so he can get into college. |
