Saw this at a Sundance showing last night in Houston. Starring Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield (both in Get Out) and Jesse Plemons (Todd from Breaking Bad) and directed by Shaka King. Basically about Fred Hampton's rise through the Black Panthers and the government's efforts to infiltrate and shut it down (some parts actually reminded me of Donnie Brasco or the Departed).

Hard to think this won't end up being graded as one of the best movies of 2021. Interesting topic, very well-acted, and well-directed. Both Kaluuya and Stanfield were incredible.

Kaluuya was so damn good in Widows. Can't wait for this.

Just FYI, that's a slightly older trailer in the OP, with the "ONLY IN THEATERS" tag at the end. But it's now hitting theaters *and* HBO Max on February 12th. Here's the newest trailer with the correct date...

Nice. Haven't been all that thrilled with HBOMax's offerings so far but this looks like it may make up for WW84 and The Little Things.

Meant a thumbs up

Amazon. Should get a best actor nom, 2 supporting actor noms, and best supporting actress nom. Easily the best film I've seen this year.

Can't say I'd watch it again, but I liked it and enjoyed it. Loved the acting. LaKeith was great , but Kaluuya was awesome.

Saw this last night and loved it. One of those movies you want to walk out of and immediately start discussing over a drink.

Great movie. One of the best movies I've seen in a while. Both main guys should get nominated for awards especially the guy playing Fred Hampton.
