An intense psychological thriller that will bring you face to face with pure terror. Samuel L. Jackson is Richie, a mysterious stranger who shows up at John's (Luke Wilson) door asking for help with his car. All too soon, the mild-mannered John discovers he has become an unwilling passenger, trapped in a murderous ride through town and deep into the countryside. When Richie decides to pay a visit to John's wife (Leslie Bibb) and kids, John has no choice but to confront this sadistic and unpredictable killer - But saving his family will ultimately come at a terrible price.

In each hour-long episode, he takes viewers along for the journey with two or three celebrity guests who are connected to one another by an intimate, sometimes hidden link, treks through layers of ancestral history, uncovers secrets and surprises in their family trees and shares life-altering discoveries.

Includes Anthony Anderson, Tom Arnold, Angela Bassett, Bill Bellamy, Cedric the Entertainer, Don Cheadle, Cameron Diaz, Mike Epps, Andy Garcia, D.L. Hughley, Warren Hutcherson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ali LeRoi, Je'niece McCullough, Rhonda McCullough, Carl Reiner, Chris Rock, Zoe Saldana, Kellita Smith, Steven Soderbergh, Joe Torry and Camille Winbush. Bernie Mac's daughter conducted many of these interviews with each story contributing to the picture of Bernie Mac as an exceptional artist, husband, father and friend.

A nifty thriller begins as an allegorical look at road rage before sinking into a trite and unsatisfying final act.

This much maligned comic book adaptation from the legendary Frank Miller is an odd duck, but it wears its retro-nostalgic innocence with glee while teetering between equal doses of mild action and campy humor.

Plus, it carries a first-rate set of image/audio transfers.
