Interesting times, feel good story

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2019)

My problem with this movie is that it has two agendas. On one hand it's a feel good bonhomie, with a spicy love attraction, boisterous good cop buddies and zippy to and fro between the troops and higher command. That's entertaining. Then again this is also about an undercover operation with real perils, where the 'bonhomie' (with the racists) is contrived and false of course, and should have had me gripping my seat. I'm sorry but these two agendas clashed for me. Maybe for others that won't be an issue. Basically I found it all mildly exhilarating, and somewhat intriguing from an historical perspective, but couldn't resolve the nonchalant attitude of, well, just about everyone to everything.
