Micheal B. Jordan is doubtless a very compelling force on camera. Action is his forte and maybe even drama but this role offers very little in the way of making him an even bigger star: There isn't a memorable score; The amateur dialogue bespeaks a 90s style; and the tension is so piecemeal that the film can only be a stitched together assemblage of scenes that really don't inspire empathy from the viewing audience. I won't even touch the race issue.
I gave this film a seven because of the actor but it's really a solid five.
