The other lead was a very real character also. Good stuff
I fully agree, Joel Edgerton is a fantastic actor, here are a couple of my favourite movies from him and one of them is even based in cambodia (story takes place there but not sure if it was shot there), both are cracking movies

This is also the first movie that I noticed Sean Harris in, he is one scary looking dude in this movie.

I've recently watched Maanaadu, it's a movie from the Tamil region in India.
The basic premise is something like Edge of Tomorrow where the main character is stuck in a time loop.

My family and I enjoyed this movie =)

For me this movie is up there as one of the best gangster movies, it nearly out ranked goodfellas for me. It has one of the most tense scenes in cinema history, you will know which one if you watch it.

Trailer doesn't do it justice,,,terrible trailer.

The french may now know how a win a world cup but god damn they know their cinema...Jacques Audiard is a god among directors

a powerful movie

"TILL"



His death resulted in the passage of H.R.55 - Emmett Till Antilynching Act
This bill makes lynching a federal hate crime offense.

Specifically, the bill imposes criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to 30 years, or both—on an individual who conspires to commit a hate crime offense that results in death or serious bodily injury or that includes kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill.

Passed 67 years after his death in 2022
and signed into law on March 29, 2022, by President Joe Biden

The real Emmitt Till story

He had a bullet hole in the head, barbed wire around his neck, an eye gouged out and other ghastly wounds. His body was dumped in the muddy Tallahatchie River.

Absolute classic, one of the greatest action films ever made, which Dredd ripped off a year later. Dredd was pretty dope, too, though.
