Older white guy here who has seen the police ignore the law, lie to people and do what they want. This movie shows bad police, police police ignoring what other police do no matter what and how they protect themselves and go after anyone, whether right or wrong. I did not believe it happened in real life until it happened to me. I cannot imagine how it would feel to grow up being judged and then to have the police create problems while you are innocent. While I do not support BLM, I can now understand what brought them to this point. My eyes have been opened. While most people will focus on the movie and be glad with the ending, I can only see police corruption, going after (possibly) an innocent person and everyone just playing along.

Denzel was amazing as always. Best actor out there and he really brings life to his character. Jared Leto was so good I wanted him to pay whether he was guilty or not. Rami Malek just as good. A slower paced movie I usually don't go for but watched because of Denzel.

Good guy movie. You know how you watch a movie and the next day or week you forgot most of it? I saw this movie about six months ago and remember most of it. It grabs you. They did a lot for a low budget movie. If you are looking for an Oscar performance then what the f are you doing watching this movie. Guys will like it. It was made by the same guy who did Black Water and The Reef, both excellent movies. While I would give them a higher rating, this one was almost as good. Give it a shot. Man, I just wanted to write "good guy movie", but IMDb wants at least ten lines. Hope the last two were enough. Nope. Still have to write more about the movie. The wife was nice.
