At least it had something to say

Rating: 6/10 (28 January 2019)

This movie isn't anything special but at least it had something to offer other than just mindless entertainment like many of the films recently lauded by audiences. The message that the film presents is certainly polarizing but at least it is trying. The movie is somewhat entertaining and follows a story that doesn't seem too contrived. There are some decent acting performances save the typical overacting we get from characters who are supposed to be portrayed as racists. The main drawbacks of the film are the occasional lapses in logic that present themselves and the score. The score is terrible. I don't know if Spike was going for a Fargo type of thing or simply cliche dramatic music but it doesn't fit at all. Too much of my time was spent wondering why I was hearing so many unnecessary horns and strings instead of enjoying the show.
