This movie wasn't necessarily bad. It has a good lead performance by Colman Domingo and an interesting, still urgent theme. Intentions were good with some good music thrown in the mix.

There's even room for some humor.

However, apart from an at times dragging script, this film has almost amateuristic editing and sound mixing. Once you've noticed it, you just can't unsee it. Scene after scene you see editing mistakes that kill continuity. Focus on the people in the background, how people hold there cigarettes/mugs/arms/head. It just jumps and skips all over the place.

Also, when someone leaves a room, you hear the door slam almost immediately, while in reality they couldn't have already left the room in that amount of time. Watch where doors are located in rooms and where people in that room are situated and then focus on how quickly someone has left that room, because the sound of the door has been mixed in. It's just off.

It really annoyed me all movie and the topic of this film deserved better work. The editor has failed this one. Sorry to say.

Therefor, in my opinion, an interesting topic, yet a mediocre movie.
