The movie is pretty good.
Kaluuya is a really great actor IMO. I know there is controversy around British actors playing Black Americans, but I really enjoy the work that he does. (Damson Idris is a perfect fit in Snowfall too.)
My big complaint is that the movie focuses a little too much on the informant (William O'Neal) and not enough on the incredible work of the Black Panther party. People unfamiliar with the Panthers will still not fully understand the power, the change, the infrastructure that the Panthers were building and why that was so scary to white people that they literally had to murder anyone and everyone associated.
With that in mind, it's a good movie that comes up short in terms of impact. Glad I watched it though.
