I was lucky enough to catch a showing of this film before it left the Drafthouse. I hadn't really been sold by the trailers, but I was willing to give it a try.
This might be one of my favorite movies of this year. The movie follows two best friends, living in Oakland, which is being progressively gentrified (which reminds me of where I live). This film was written by the two leads, and was partially inspired by their own lives. Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal were both fantastic, and were foils of one another. Diggs' Collin is three days away from being released from probation after a stint in jail. Collin sees an officer shoot an unarmed guy, but can't report what he saw because he was late for his curfew.
The film was really effective, and you felt the sheer terror in some of the situations. I was actually exhausted after watching it, but in a good way.
