'30s America, a breh apparently committed murder.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

I see some of this is based on the Robert Nixon trial, and after looking it up, wow....

Spoiler

a black serial killer in the 1930s ???? Dude had a major deathwish

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

The lead dude really acted his ass off

Like every lil nuance he hit on his character's personality

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

I liked it...but felt underwhelmed by the end. Could've been much better imo

 

[PortCityProphet]

going on?
This takes a wild ass turn, Big aint that damn dumb is he, like bruh went full retard

 

[KING WILL]

ole girl not the best looking white chick out there, but theres something very attractive about her.


Man, dude is a pretty good actor. He acting his ass off.

Good movie. I love Kiki and Qualley did her thing. I didn't like the main brehs character and that was before he did the stupid sh*t. I didn't read the book or even knew there was a previous film.

For those of you that have, can you provide some insight on why breh was so b*tch made? I understood the references to breh not fitting the stereotypes but for him to do what he did was wild.

Peeped this out early today. This was a good film.

 

[pickles]

It started off ok but they robbed of its impact on racism, imo. Leaving out the rape too? Smh. The ending was so preditable too. Maybe others will like it bit its but its not for me

Did you read the book? I don't remember rape.

Correct me if I am wrong, I read this book a hundred years ago.

Not sure how some you guys have not read the book, it was required summer reading for English class in high school.
