We're kicking off our new theme with an action classic, led by a pillar of American Cinema, that helped shape the modern action genre. All due credit is given for its impact, but does it hold up as entertainment over 50 years after its release?
Unfortunately, we end this theme rotation with another disappointment of failed potential. A thought provoking story with an incredible all-star cast just doesn't come together like it should.
The foundation is here for a great thriller. Unfortunately, inexperienced filmmaking, poor storytelling, ugly visuals, and awful acting make it a grind to get through.
Jude Law and Jurnee Smollett are fantastic as cops hunting a white supremacist leader (Nicholas Hoult). Unfortunately, director Justin Kurzel's detached style left us wanting more
In the Heat of the Night deserves its place in film history as a groundbreaking drama examining racial tension, and for having a masterful performance from Sidney Poitier.
