An Honest Review

Rating: 1/10 (19 March 2018)

The plot was good but, honestly, all white people are evil and deep down inside they want to be Black. That's really what the plot is, or at least that's the point of the movie, to show you how evil all white people are...and how they always go out of their way to harm Black people.
Now...that's the politics behind the film. When you take away the racist crap...it's actually not that bad. The problem here is that politics get in the way and, honestly, I am sick and tired of being told to admit how evil and racist all white people are...or else get the racist label.
I'm sorry, it works both ways.
Beyond the race crap, the movie is actually excellent, the plot is a slow burner and one that, if you walk into it fresh, keeps you on your toes. There isn't a lot of action, there's not a lot of gore, and it pays off in pure plot.
Unfortunately the plot makes a clear racist statement about how evil white people are. If you want to have a reason to hate white people, this is for you. If you want to have a movie that blames all white people for everything wrong with the world, this movie is for you.
And if you want a movie with a solid plot and great acting...this movie is also for you.
The down side is, once it becomes racist to make racist movies, this film is going to be received like the original Birth of a Nation a solid film flawed for it's racism.
