Slow, Forced, Good Ending

Rating: 5/10 (16 August 2018)

The film tries to hard to be both a comedy and a serious rebellion-inspiring political piece. Most of the movie is just Spike Lee preaching his political views at you.
Besides that, the acting was mostly great (besides Felix and his wife), the cinematography was excellent, the soundtrack was interesting, but the whole thing was really slow. They never have much tension or really try raising the stakes until the end of the movie.
Towards the climax of the movie, it finally goes from being mildly interesting to a tense, thrilling film. Then they include some footage from the riots and present day propoganda as if the movie didn't already preach to you enough about Lee's political views.
Would not recommend.
