Pulls you in as the story evolves

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2020)

After a bit of an uneven start, this movie takes off and pulls you into the friendship between these two very different men during a time of much racial upheaval. I don't see a "white savior" controversy here as some reviews noted. I think that both men saved EACH OTHER in unique ways. If anything, this movie walks a very careful line at being almost too nice and too safe in its portrayal of some really dark things. Impressive performances from both lead actors.
