In the new thriller The Suspect, Mekhi Phifer stars as one of a pair of social scientists who pose as bank robbers in an effort to understand the racial dynamics of small-town law enforcement. As police attempt to work through the case, the experiment takes an unexpected and deadly turn.

Or as Love likes to call it, dealt with a difficult experience while "driving while...
