shyt was fire to me.
The title alone let me know this wasn’t a biographical film , but more a movie about Brother Hamptons demise and the events leading up to it
I never expected that so I guess I wasn’t disappointed like a few of you.
Cinematography 9/10
Acting 9/10
I do agree it didn’t go deep enough, it could have really dug in
Hmmmm
Final score 8.5/10

Exactly how i feel...but i appreciate the attempt...it wasn’t a bad movie....I’m happy we got a movie on Fred Hampton.....we need more movies on our black hero’s

I can't lie I found the film underwhelming.
The trailer 100% more emotive than the film and I agree with whoever said that.
From a filmmaking perspective its great, but beyond the surface its mediocre. They don't delve into the characters of either Fred or Bill, they don't demonstrate Fred's politics and it comes across as Hollywood does the Panthers

This was good, but I felt like they had the "wrap it up" box flashing by the final act. For a 2 hour movie, it shouldn't feel that way. Instead of feeling angry, I felt like there should've been more to it.
Still...very good effort. Everybody did a good job, it just should've been fleshed out a bit more imo.
Special shout out to Ashton Sanders for finally playing a role that doesn't have him moping about all the time on screen.

ETA: Movie was good. I was mad at the end and not sad, because I know the story already.

If I eat crab legs with cajun butter for the dip while watching this movie will I gain more enjoyment?Should we not feel a way about seeing a prominent Black activist getting assassinated?

Damn, I’m surprised by the lukewarm responses. I thought the film was brilliant. It has the pace of an action/thriller but I thought it did a great job of showing Fred’s leadership qualities and just how much of a threat he was to Hoover as well as humanizing him through his relationship with Deborah.
I understand the critiques of it focusing too much on O’Neal but most of the movie was about Fred through O’Neal’s eyes. Also thought the film was great just on a technical level with the acting/direction/cinematography so I’m not understanding why that Vulture critic was so harsh toward it

Of course
I really liked the bacc drop for this movie
This is def how I took it. This is more in line with Donnie Brasco and The Departed than Malcolm X
