Blindspotting (2018)
7/10
Good but misses its own point
29 November 2019
I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but at the end it appears that the writers missed their own point. Do not the main characters, and others in their communities, have a blind spot in how they view police and their actions, and the actions of those that come into conflict with the police?

Don't Miles and Collin go right on blindspotting one another? Right before Collin's confrontation in the last moving job, he starts to see Miles in light of all his dangerous and out-of-control behavior, and in the final scene he seems to have willfully blinded himself to those facts again. Miles throughout the film seems to blindspot the new, improving Collin, even when he consciously acknowledges it.

Again, maybe some or all of this was intentional but I think it will get washed out by the anti-police narrative.
