Tense watch. It really had me on the edge of the seat the whole time.
It did feel they had to cram in a lot of setpieces for a 150 min watch. The editing sometimes felt very fast paced as it cut from moments you'd expect to hold on. I wonder if leaving some stuff out would've helped that.
Regardless it's a fantastic film that makes you feel a lot. It's tragic and frustrating, with some moments making you feel incredibly uncomfortable. It made you just feel disgust in a way I've never felt before.
The cast is so good. So many A-listers that did a brilliant job. I enjoyed the chemistry the actors had with eachother.
I think the film portrayed the divide of America during the 1980s, even continuing until today. The cancer of racism is so apparent in this film, but it also brings up the subconscious side of it. How we're raised, what we're taught, how our eyes can't see past things that's been embedded within us, projecting that as prejudices and hatred. The ending sequence was the nail on the head.
