The Phantom (II) (2021)
5/10
Too long and racist.
15 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This is an interesting case spoiled by bad story telling. First half, 45mins of the documentary was basically the same thing repeating over and over again. They spend 45 mins trying make you feel sorry and somewhat emotional about Mr. Deluna. Then the other half where the real thing is supposed to start, it just skimmed over the top.

Definitely not for fans of crime documentaries. Not much details given other than the fact an innocent person was hanged and it's all because of racism.

Never mind the fact that Deluna lied many times and made it hard for anyone to believe his story in the beginning. But it does make a solid argument against the death penalty. The racist angle their spin kinda was like the cherry on top of this bad documentary.

An ok watch if your a casual viewer. Not recommended for crime fans.
