Daniel Kaluuya’s magnetism, LaKeith Stanfield’s twitchy pseudo-confidence, and Jesse Plemmons’ oil-slick of an agent are the true highlights of this poignant film. Inspired by true events, the ensemble cast masterfully showcase an overlooked story of activism set with the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party.
