Stellar performances all round, literally everyone was on their top game for this one!! Powerful film with a lot to say and for a Brit with limited knowledge of revolutionaries in the USA I can’t help but be thankful for learning about Fred Hampton.

daniel kaluuya and lakeith stanfield are two of the greatest actors alive & this heartbreaking story parallels the jesus/judas relationship so well

89/100

Some of the best acting I have seen in recent memory. I had no idea how spot-on Daniel Kaluuya's Fred Hampton was until the archival footage was shown at the end of the film. Surprisingly great cinematography. The screenplay was great, even though I feel like there could have been some key moments added to expand on O'Neil's mental state, but a great portrait of the character nonetheless. Definitely worth the watch. This is a crazy good debut film from Shaka King.
