This movie is not Dog Day Afternoon but it is an honourable follower in its footsteps.

Abi Damaris Corbin gently hints at how common factors such as bureaucratic inefficiency, institutional racism and the US’s culture of violence all share responsibility for what unfolds.

The performances by Beharie, Williams, and especially Boyega ultimately save the film.

It’s soft moments and great performances like these that are simply exceptional and elevated this derivative script to a great film.
