Plot
In the 1960s, racial tension was huge in Mississippi (as well as other places). During this time, two white and one black pro civil rights activists disappeared. Turns out that they were murdered. But how can they find the bodies and find the evidence? Two FBI agents [of completely different backgrounds/mindsets] are sent to the area to figure out just that.
Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
3.5/5 - Not a bad movie but it was very slow and fairly boring to me. It brought up a good point about "why are we racist?". What really separates us from others? Why do people judge based on skin color (or at all)?
Some people might like this movie but I wasn't thoroughly impressed. Feel free to watch it if you wish!
Sorry for the short review. Thank you for reading, though! More reviews to come eventually hopefully.
