This was an Oscar nominee for the best picture. In Chicago 1969, in the wake of the deaths of
Malcolm X and
Martin Luther King, the Black Panthers, the Young Lords and the Young Patriots form a rainbow coalition against the police brutality and tyranny. However one of their security captains is a rat who feeds information directly to the FBI. Haven't seen them all yet, but thus far I'd handed the Oscar to
Judas and the Black Messiah rather than the mediocre
Nomadland. Cool cast.
Jesse Plemons is becoming the equivalent of
Philip Seymour Hoffman, almost unrecognizable
Martin Sheen as
J. Edgar Hoover and another strong performance by
Daniel Kaluuya.
LaKeith Stanfield and
Dominique Fishback caught my eye as well.
