Based on a true story.
The ending to this film leaves you traumatised. It’s one of the most heartbreaking and terrifying endings of a film I’ve ever seen.
It was directed very well. The film kinda leaves you so shocked it’s hard to comment on anything you just watched, making it hard to review, but Michael b Jordan gave a great performance and this was a well made film.
The entire final sequence was all very emotional and well done, but the final shot in particular was perfect.
as a whole the film was good, just a film where we get to know this flawed character and watch him try and be better, then we sit there and watch as he is robbed of his chance to and it’s devastating.
Very hard ending to watch. Good film.
8.5/10
