Gabrielle Union Omaha 7th big star

I think it's time for Gabrielle Union to become Omaha big star #7. After more than twenty years in the industry, our hometown actress finally scored a real lead in a movie. I'm honestly hoping she will be an action star. For any Omaha native who hasn't seen this I recommend you see it. I can promise...
