The Tenants
Worlds apart... and right next door.
On the top floor of an abandoned tenement, Harry Lesser struggles to complete the novel he has been writing for almost ten years. Then Willie Spearmint, black militant and aspiring writer, moves into another part of the building to work on his own book.

Good premise but full of plot holes - fallenangel
The plot of a white writer on the crisp of finishing his next novel living in a comdemned building because he believes if he moves he will lose his focus and the black writer living there illegal trying to finish his first novel is promising but secondary plot issues bury it. First of all, their fighting over a girl jumps without explaining the girl's feelings or how they develop the feelings for her. Second, the black versus white way of writing is never explored beyond being said that they just have two different ways of writing. The movie felt incomplete, using other black characters as props and steroetypes, and a waste of all three main performers.
