This movie is really a piece of work. There are some awesome moments with a plot twist I did not see coming, which is always a very good sign. The dialogues are to the point and the acting is just marvellous. Outstanding performances from Zazie Beetz (Mary), Danielle Deadwyler (Cuffee), Regina King (Trudy), Jonathan Majors (Nat Love), LaKeith Stanfield (Cherokee Bill) and Edi Gathegi (Bill Picket). It's about two gangs of people entirely accustomed to violence and fear: one is led by Nat Love (Jonathan Majors), who bears a cross cut into his forehead by the villain who killed his mum and dad in front of him when he was just a kid, and seeking revenge. Ranged against them are the Rufus Buck gang. Rufus himself is played by an emotionless Idris Elba.
Conclusion: the characters are multidimensional and the acting is convincing. From the visual design, cinematography to the directing, it all worked out very well. The only thing I found a bit disturbing were the songs. There were just too many songs and sometimes they casted a shadow over the story. Overall a 7/10 and well worth watching. And I guarantee you will love the twist at the end.
