Rating: 3/10 (11 March 2018)

Really wanted to like this movie and like Jordan Peele. Thought it was cool to see him get recognition for something other than comedy. However, the film is very overrated. To simplify the plot..... People are getting kidnapped, then hypnotized to become slaves, then auctioned off, and then undergoing brain transplants. I repeat people are being kidnapped, hypnotized, sold, and undergo brain transplants. It is the most ridiculous story line ever. For people saying it is about something deeper, I get it. I get the social aspects of the film, the racism, all that. Put that aside, if it was an all white cast, an all black cast, whites kidnapping blacks, blacks kidnapping whites..... the film is about people who get kidnapped.....hypnotized... auctioned off, and have 90% of their brain removed and replaced with someone elses brain so they can live forever. Say it outloud and try not to laugh. Its absurd and childish. It's a sci-fi original premise gone bad. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen but to see it get Academy Award recognition is mindblowing.
