Eh, this started quite well and it's interesting at the very least for the amount of information it packs about white supremacist groups. It's obviously a well researched film. But it's not a documentary and it's not advertised as such and, as a thriller movie, it's extremely bland. The tension feels manufactured and the movie just ends... without achieving a well deserved climax or exploring any of the possibilities of its set-up.
Daniel Radcliffe continues to be a solid actor who makes interesting career choices. I don't think I've ever seen a boring movie he starred in post Harry Potter. This one just isn't very good.
I watched for the same reason. Radcliffe takes chances that his peers simply don't.Quoting Grouchy (view post)
Unfortunately, this movie is straight up bad. It's tv movie-of-the-week material with strictly cop show level plot. (Like, oh noes, undercover cop is conflicted about his loyalties? YOU DON'T SAY.) I was surprised how unambitious it was. They had Toni Colette playing Radcliffe's superior officer, too, and she's totally wasted.
She was good but the character was a walking cliché.Quoting Irish (view post)
The only worthwhile thing about the movie is that it shows how real life racist rethoric works.
