Peele's first hit, a good thriller

Rating: 6/10 (23 January 2020)

This one is a mover, keeps your interest. Peele has previous failures as an actor and director - comedy movies. This one is definitely not comedy. There is some comic relief with his best friend trying to figure out what is going on, but overall not a laugher. Weird how he says "I'd never put a white lead in any of my movies." Racism has no color, Mr. Peele. This is a good movie though - has enough twists and turns to keep your interest. Normal Peele stuff, white folks are evil, black folks are victims, cops are mean, etc. This movie was up for Academy awards, Golden Globe awards, and People's Choice awards. Won some. I think Peele won for best director and it was runner-up for best picture. I recommend it.
