Actors: Michael B
Jordan, Melonie Diaz, Octavia Spencer, Ariana Neal
Rating: 9 out of 10, An important movie
that explores the last day of a young black man who is ultimately shot at a
subway station by a white cop. While
based on true events I’m sure the filmmakers went out of their way to sanitize
Oscar’s last few hours but the best thing about the movie is that they didn’t
try to wholly cover up his abundant shortcomings. They provide insight into a simple human life
falling victim to injustice. We’re left
to judge both the incident and players involved with a lot more clarity than is
customary in this type movie.
MVP: Jordan as the ill-fated
Oscar
