A few early parts were awkward and took me out of the movie (i.e. the This some "Fo Real Fo Real Shit" intro, and the main dude doing kung-fu moves after the racist encounter in the evidence room).
I dug it. Washington was good in the role. He's got a way to go to hit the level of depth and charisma that his daddy brings to roles, but he did right by the part. Adam Driver was good too, and maybe even outshined the lead even in a role that didn't have as much to it.
It was kind of a movie where the characters and themes and stuff far outweigh the actual plot. The climax with the mail bomb scheme and all wasn't really a satisfying payoff, but it's almost like that wasn't the main focus.
I thought the ending was a bit heavy handed. Like, I envisioned Keenan Ivory Wayans popping up to say "MESSAGE!!!" But still kind of a poignant wake up call.
Overall, those were small nitpicks in a really good movie. It makes me want to read the book, which I think might be the best accomplishment a movie adaptation can do.
