Beyond the Lights

A rising music superstar (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) and a young cop (Nate Parker) both have plans to shake up the world but destiny steps in one night out on a suicide balcony. Minnie Driver plays the demanding & controlling stage mom/manager cashing in on her daughter's talent. Danny Glover is the police captain/father with a political career plan for his son. Of course, the troubled talent and her officer hero fall in love, split up, find themselves, and reunite in this clichéd romance tale about a singer who finally finds her voice & her freedom. It's entertaining but nothing new here. Mbatha-Raw is the star here and an actress to keep an eye out for.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "ICU2" stars out of 4.
