Slick comedy-drama about a day in the life of the cutups who work and hang out at a barbershop on Chicago's South Side.

Sleeper Cell Much like this summer's...

Sleeper CellMuch like this summer's Showtime drama Weeds, Sleeper Cell explores what can lurk just below the radar in an average community.

"I spoke to my mom and she said she saw it at a sneak preview," he sighs. "She just said three words, 'Foul, foul, foul.' Then she had to go back to her prayer meeting. I'm probably in trouble. "My mom listens to gospel," he continues. "This is not gospel. This is a world that my mom worked hard to keep me from. I can't imagine her watching me exist in this world. It has got to be difficult for her to separate me as acto
