POSITIVES…
Fantastic cast! From Clarke Peters, Isiah Whitlock Jr, Jonathan Majors, Norm Lewis, Melanie Thierry, Chadwick Boseman, Johnny Nguyen, Paul Walter Hauser, plus a fantastic performance by Delroy Lindo.
Produced some excellent scenes of exchanges involving history, politics, and camaraderie, that got my attention.
The story got me invested to see how it was all going to end. Certain plot turns liven things up.
Appreciated the many callbacks and sidebars to African American History, and all the other historical references too.
Has multiple themes in the story to digest, and felt appropriately provocative.
Excellent soundtrack.
NEGATIVES…
Narrative can be a bit all over the place.
There are some cliche plot points and a few coincidences that felt unnecessarily cheap.
It can tend to meander a little too much. Hope you don’t get bored or impatient.
How about a little bit more editing? It just doesn’t justify it’s 2 hrs 34 mins runtime.
P.S….
