an uncomfortable movie worth watching

Rating: 9/10 (1 September 2018)

Every scene had something. Whether it was the soundtrack, the acting, the perilous situations, every scene had something, and it was all great. Denzel Washington's son plays the main character and you can hear his father in his performance but never too much so that it takes you out of his character. HE Embodies his character and is really believable. Everyone else was stellar. This movie made me feel uncomfortable at moments, because of the issues regarding race. It was so heavy sometimes, I felt like I wanted to leave the theatre; but thats just really good filmmaking if youre making the audience feel for a film and keep their captivation. Overall 9/10 had some pacing issues, scenes that could have been cut down by a minute or two, but other than that this is a must see for anyone who enjoys a controversial, well-written, beautiful looking film.
