Electrifying and tense, this true story film delievers with the performances by Kaluuya and Stanfield. It talks of the best and worst of people in a beautiful way and is shinyly filmed. Apparently it also got everything right, unlike other historical films. There is alot of cursing which takes away my reccomandation for it, yet it is important if you can somehow find a clean version. It teaches alot and leaves you really thinking. So happy Kaluyaa won The Golden Globe for this.

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.

This is a very important movie which deserves to be seen. The website Politifact says this movie is reliable and sticks to the facts pretty well. They were checking this movie for accuracy. J Edgar Hoover had it out for independent black men who were powerful activists. This whole era is a stunning disgrace for the FBI, reprehensible. We are living in an era now in 2021 where white cops think they can murder black people with impunity. This is a very timely and relevant film!
