740706, The shifting naratives Posted by Numba_33, Sat Feb-13-21 07:55 PM
between Hampton's storylines and the snitch's storyline took this movie down a notch IMO. The three main storylines of Fred Hampton's rise as a leader, the snitch's attempts to gain access to him, and Hampton's budding romance made the movie feel a bit jumbled and rushed IMO. I didn't feel as if the movie flowed naturally from beat to beat.
Not saying the film is by any stretch of the imagination a bad flick, but the abrupt shifts in the storylines took me out the movie a few times. Reminded me a bit of one of the reasons why I didn't like American Gangster.
