Must See

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 1999)

An excellent depiction of the 1960's civil rights struggle. Tackles a very serious issue but remarkably never seems preachy. Gene Hackman is, as usual, perfect. And while his role of the vigilante FBI man occasionally gets a bit farfetched, you cheer for him all the way. A taut, absorbing, and worthwhile film.
