This movie was necessary to give people a glimpse into the life of Chairman Fred Hampton as well as the Black Panther Party. I liked hearing that Fred Hampton Jr. was on set every day to see this project actually happen.

The director's admiration for Fred Hampton makes him a flat character, built from his speeches but without depth. More interesting is William O'Neal, turned into a Judas who betrayed for some coins, and whose transformation is accurately represented. Judas ends up being a believer, but despite that he remains a traitor. It is a correct approximation to a troubled time, but also a confirmation that not many things have changed.

I just wanted to write a quick comment on this film. I think it’s really really great. It has stellar performances by the two leads and tells a great story that had to be told, watch it if you can!

Daniel Kaluuya and Lakeith Stanfield are slowly getting into that realm of actors where I will watch a movie just to see their performance because I know it will be brilliant.
