Singleton's turn as financier and Allain's determination deserve recognition, not merely because of Hustle's hefty haul. "There are still no black studio executives in Hollywood who can green-light a movie," notes Allain. "That's part of the reason why John was fed up with the studios. Now, he's green-lighting, and that's really the future for blacks in Hollywood having power. If more people can get in that position, and have the courage to put their money where their mouth is, that's real power."
