it’s not powerful — it’s pathetic.

i don’t get why people hype this garbage like it’s deep or something. it’s nothing more than a high school essay with muscles. it’s directed like a 15-year-old’s school project about “hate and redemption.” the slow motion just won’t stop — like the director discovered it for the first time and lost his mind.
this movie walks around like it’s carrying the cure to racism, but it’s really just a clumsy lecture from a film student who thinks black-and-white cinematography equals intelligence
every scene screams “look how serious i am!” — yeah, we get it, you’re edgy. it’s all fake depth, fake drama, fake emotion. that stupid basketball scene? it’s like michael bay tried to direct an after-school special. two morons playing ball like it’s saving the world.
edward norton got all that praise for this — and look where his career went. how many great roles he had in his career? no surprise.
this movie thinks it’s profound, but it’s just loud and empty and if you think this movie is profound, you need to rewatch actual cinema and stop mistaking noise for meaning.
