    Going to get the habit of reviewing more
    Real quick staccato reviews. The acting was solid. Bill had a way of making you feel uncomfortable watching him fidget around. The story telling was alright. Fred hampton did not seem like he was 21 thats wild. Great credits track from H. E. R. Loved the cinematic shots involving Bill's car. All the white people in this movie were utterly deplorable. The power to the people speak was great. Lots of Huey Newton shot outs. All in all not my type of movie per say, but still kept my attention. Was a surprisly small little snapshot of a big movement that highlighted one man's character and courage and one man's conflicted judas like betrayal/suffering/etc
