A car drives through a busy part of town and throws out a black teenager who has clearly been beaten by the men in the car.
A reference is made to a teenager being abducted by the KKK and taken to a remote location where his scrotum was removed using a razor, and that his body looked as though it had been dipped in blood from the waist down.
One of the protagonists attacks one of the leaders of the gang in a barber shop, cutting open his cheek with a razor and beating him, which leaves him weak and moaning in a chair. |

9/10
This movie is very intense, and portrays the time period and event very accurately.
This film is anti-racist and pro-tolerance so it's morals are in the right place. However, there is a lot of extreme racist behavior and the KKK are very eerie.
Overall score: 37/50. A very dark movie. |
