This movie brought out the child in me. I was enamored with the colorful characters, the drama and fantasy. I didn't read the book so I have nothing to compare it to but I thought that it was fantastic.

I really didn't know what to expect of this movie but I had to watch it again the next day to make sure I got the same reaction and there were things that stood out even more powerfully on my second viewing.

The movie was cleverly satirical but still managed to get me to explore and challenge my own perceptions, bias and that questionable "white privilege" The actual filming was well done and the music was genius, there were a lot of little touches like actual riot footage, voice over narration, tap dancing etc that was a gamble but was pulled off flawlessly to draw the reader into the mind of the Title Character that we know only as Black Cop. I highly recommend this title and to watch with someone you can discuss with afterwards as it is a film that solicits discussion.
