" 2021 Director: Shaka King His 2nd Movie My 1st movie watched from the director. Lakeith Stanfield is great in this interesting perspective on the Black Panthers. The pacing is good, the production is decent, and the rest of the cast is fine. The way they presented the ending seemed kind of weak. Also, the second man who was killed at the end isn't even portrayed in the movie and barely even mentioned. An odd person to leave out. Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Lakeith Stanfie"

"Offered a plea deal by the FBI, William O'Neal infiltrates the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party to gather intelligence on Chairman Fred Hampton. An interesting and thought-provoking drama, based on a true story. It shows the confrontational relationship, a war, essentially, that existed between African-American political activists and the police at the time. It also shows the needless bloodshed it caused, largely by the police, and the excessive, heavy-handed, illegal methods also us"
“This film has the potential to wake people up on the obvious systemic racism of the police system and the FBI, AKA basically wearing a badge as license to mass kill innocent and unarmed civilians. This film exposes the historical reality that the FBI intentionally murders any Messiah that brings and organizes all working class people uniting to dramatically change the brutal and racist American capitalist system.” read more

"Format: In-Flight Movie Viewing: 1st Thoughts: We've seen plenty of movies that have depicted the Black Panthers, but I'd say this is probably the best to date. It's gritty and raw filmmaking, with a great sense of foreboding throughout. It reminded me of Kathryn Bigelow's Detroit. It does have the usual trappings of the undercover mole story, but Lakeith Stanfield and Daniel Kaluuya are just so damn good in this that all is forgiven. Also need to point out that the use of Rahsaan Roland Kirk's "

" Notes: I have to admit that I didn’t know much about Fred Hampton and it was really neat to learn more about this inspiring guy. Indeed, that he had accomplished so much and that he had reached such wisdom at such a young age was just really impressive and it would have been interesting to find some actors who were actually around the same age of their characters (Indeed, Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield were both at least 10 years older than their characters). Still, there is no denying"

“Since I kept hearing some really good things about this movie, I was really eager to check it out. Well, first of all, it was a really badass title. Furthermore, I have to admit that I didn’t know much about Fred Hampton and it was really neat to learn more about this inspiring guy. Indeed, that he had accomplished so much and that he had reached such wisdom at such a young age was just really impressive and it would have been interesting to find some actors who were actually around the same age of their characters (Indeed, Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield were both at least 10 years older than their characters). Still, there is no denying that Kaluuya and Stanfield both delivered such strong performances, they were both quite pitch-perfect and seriously spellbinding to behold. So, t” read more
