Review of Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) by 3Ebfan511 — 16 Feb 2021
Good, but not great. There is no context around some of the action, so the film feels like it is missing elements, and most of the side characters are never developed, never say anything interesting at all.
This film had potential to be...much better than it was, so while I enjoyed it, I can't say it was as good as the trailer made it out to be. Great performances make it worth watching and the story of course needs to be told, even if done through the lens of the informant, which, while interseting in itself, is not neccesarily a film about Fred Hampton himself.
Overall: definitely worth seeing, but I feel like it lacks context and at times, tension, that should have been there.
