Supremacy

This story is based upon real events, so you should know right away that you're going to be in for a wild ride!!

I caught this on Netflix and missed a bit at the beginning. From what I can gather, Danny Glover was an ex-con, hosting some other ex- convicts on the run from authorities, until things take a very big turn for the worse. As it happens, Joe Anderson and his crew are white supremacists, and Danny Glover is black. The challenges each group faces as they assimilate to their newer more raucous way of life becomes a huge issue. Also, with children in the picture, the ultimate goal for everyone becomes survival.

Danny Glover is terrific in his role, delivering a powerful performance as a man with his own demons, but charged with protecting his extended family.

Overall, decent film, well-acted, with the strongest performances delivered by Dawn Olivieri, and Evan Ross. It's about trust, and learning to go beyond your prejudices. Very heartwarming and well- acted.

I know the sister of this man, Robert Scully Jr. She was my caregiver for 2 years and she shared stories about her family with me. This is a true story. Robert was in trouble with the law since he was young. He had just been released from prison the very day he killed a sheriff and broke into the home of an African American family and took them hostage. The deputy sheriff was in the wrong place at the wrong time and he is the real victim in this story. Of course so was the family who was taken hostage was terrorized by his actions. Thank God they all lived. Scully and his accomplice who I feel set some of the events that happened on this day into motion, deserve what they got. For those of you who were unable to find information about this crime, I'm not sure what to tell you except it is a true story. You might try a Google search for Robert Walter Scully Jr.

Saw the Atlanta premiere of Supremacy as part of the Pan African Film Festival. The movie is about a recently released white supremacist who is picked up by his lady friend. Along the way, things go array and they have to seek refuge in the home of an ex-convict (Danny Glover). The former prisoner is set not to go back to prison while Mr. Walker (Danny Glover) is set to lead his family to safety. A high stakes film that is based on a real life story. According to the director who was at the screening, the story was shot in 10 days. Danny Glover shared that it was a team effort and they were free to share their true emotion of this tense movie. This movie touches on the complexity of family, society, and justice as the characters fight to find a path to their own escape. It is a star performance by Danny Glover as he attempts to keep calm during the rage of emotion.

I thought the storyline was believable. I think you're acting was just okay. If it wasn't for Danny Glover, the movie would have sucked.

I found this on Netflix and decided to give it a gander. It is intense and deals with the racial tension that has always existed between the races. The recently paroled inmate vs the aging man who was once an inmate. It seeks to show how they are different but the same. Each has come to a decision that not only affects them but others. In the end they both learn from each other that hate is a business and both of them have been pawns of propaganda. Very interesting para-drama between the mother and the daughter. The daughter blurred the family lines with self-preservation. Tension mounts throughout the entire movie and each must face their own mortality and fears in order to survive.
