It gives me no pleasure to say that this dumb ass movie was prophetic.
Read the book, that gets 5 stars.
An astonishing movie depicting insurgency and counter-insurgency. Shot in a quasi-documentary style, many of the images within will look shockingly modern.
If you want to be real fun at parties: pair with Army of Shadows (1969).
Criterion Movie #2 Great Soundtracks
An incredible gangster flick with a rogues gallery of British "that" guys.
Bob Hoskins give an incredible performance. A brutal racist thug trying to keep together the thin veneer of legitimacy that he's created before the bodies start piling up.
Guy Ritchie took a ton of notes from this one.
A nearly stream of conscious style documentary about the axis of greed, racism and fear mongering that led to the murder of Patrice Lumumba. Set to a constantly shifting jazz score, the move hits like a freight train and doesn't let up until its final moments.
