À propos de ce film

William O'Neal, informateur du FBI, s'infiltre au sein du Black Panther Party dans l'Illinois avec pour mission de surveiller leur charismatique meneur et président, Fred Hampton. Voleur professionnel, O'Neal raffole de la sensation de danger procurée par le fait de tromper à la fois ses camarades et celui qui le manipule, l'agent spécial Roy Mitchell. Hampton ne cesse d'étendre son influence dans le monde politique tandis qu'il tombe sous le charme d'une autre révolutionnaire, Deborah Johnson. Simultanément, l'âme de O'Neal est déchirée. Se rangera-t-il dû côté du bien ? Ou soumettra-t-il Hampton et les Panthers à tout prix, comme le directeur du FBI J. Edgar Hoover l'ordonne ?

Notes et avis

$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.
