Om denne filmen

FBI-informanten William O'Neal får i oppdrag å infiltrere Black Panther Party i Illinois for å overvåke gruppens karismatiske leder Fred Hampton. O’Neal har lenge livnært seg som innbruddstyv og føler seg hjemme i den farlige situasjonen der han både manipulerer kameratene i gruppen og sin kontaktperson i FBI, spesialagent Roy Mitchell. Hamptons politiske talent kommer stadig sterkere frem, samtidig som han forelsker seg i Deborah Johnson, en annen revolusjonær. O’Neal, på sin side, slites mellom to ytterpunkter. Vil han kjempe for rettferdighet? Eller ta alle midler i bruk for å ødelegge for Hampton og Black Panthers, slik FBI-sjef J. Edgar Hoover har gitt ham ordre om?

$20 to rent a movie to watch once? I live alone, fear COVID, and use a tiny Surface Pro laptop. $20 is absurd. Sorry, but Hollywood will have to use the money of other peple to support jet-setting to NYC, Cannes and their Malibu beach houses. I am offended by your greed. Making me give it a rating, I'm just choosing the middle to try not to damage what is probably a great movie. I thought it was oin netflix but everything disappeared from there but 2 or 3 films. Greed is an ugly thing.

I love all the anti-wh ite propaganda pushed out by hollywood these days. Its part of the reason I can no longer support the modern woke left. Modern Hollywood is just chock full of racists and violent people pretending everyone else is a Na zi - in order to keep people from realizing how privileged adult pretenders are. This movie is just yet another "linear time does not exist" whitey is evil movie. If you have seen one - you have seen them all. The movie plot might as well have been written by Go ebbels.

Wow, these guys really deserve an award. Kaluuya's performance was the best I've seen so far this year, just incredible and absolute convincing. Stanfield on the other hand was very impressive as well. The movie didn't really grip me cuz of the plot or story wise but the absolute top notch performances from the cast to retell this story. This is a must watch to see Hollywood's young talents.
