After high-profile cases of police violence that caused the unrest of the black population of the States, the movie quickly began to respond to hot topic. Arose a volley of paintings about the violence African-Americans with white, some of them are the masterpieces of the French film “Les Miserables” is about a similar case of harassment of a black Light in the Paris suburb of Montfermeil and slippery positions of power structures. Less significant, although the resonance was film-drama “Away” again about the new wave of “racism upside down” and the confusion of minds that have shaken the country. But the artistic criteria are increasingly losing the championship opportunistic reasons. And here’s another black teenager murdered by police, security forces faced with the open hostility of colored people – the situation is close to explosion. This becomes the starting point of the script Richmond Riedel and Nicholas McCarthy “DVR”. Dancing from it, they build their mystical plot.
However, we still don’t know that it would be a mystery, and intrigued by the terrifying discovery of a female officer with the name of Lomito, so much speaking Russian-speaking audience: her colleague, in the dead of night interested in the green van, was thrown to the sky by an unknown force and fell on the hood, breathless. Lomito (Mary J. Blige) with a fledgling partner Danny (NAT Wolfe) begins an investigation that leads her to the terrible crimes committed by her colleagues in the form to hide their fatal flaws. Bad reputation of the police among the black population of the town of Swinton in Louisiana you will find the confirmation in a bloody, full of naturalistic scenes the final. And the circuit is opened brave Lomito terrible events will be a terrible revenge strangled by police of a teenager who became a likeness of the all powerful zombies.
Acute social theme embodied in the contours of the genre of the film, where the Director more concerned with the task to scare us. The plot is quite quickly immersed in the dramatic wilds of incoherent nonsense: most intense scenes, pretty scaring, did not get interchange, of the drawer will fall out the hosts of the flying cockroaches, the authors then forget it, without explaining how they got there; a brave COP shamefully retires, leaving his companion to wander with a flashlight in the darkness alone with the unknown… Those walks in different environments – a favorite technique of the Director, he prolonged indefinitely, without deciding, where and why. The scene is almost a good alternate with almost disastrous, dialogues that grandiloquent to loftiness, then the primitive unease; the viewer gets tired to count roughly ragged, nothing explained, story-riddles and give up, desperate to find any convincing solution. Directed by Malik Booth maintains the suspense, as usual in bad movies, puga��ing music and the inevitable rumbling low frequencies, but these techniques quickly cease to operate: in a city where it’s always night, the streets are empty, and behind every corner sees a dead body, I feel like a pawn on a chessboard, which, breaking all the rules, haphazardly pulls here and there inept player.
But this film is of high relevance. Here is the philosophy of hereditary discontent, embodied in the Black Lives Matter movement (“black Life matters”), and have reversely in the direction of feminism: the heroine is a fearless black woman Lomito, the only ray of light in a dark Kingdom filled with unsightly males or weaklings, as partner Danny, or corrupt criminals, like all the others. The film kind of screams we: Me Too, and I’m all for equality of all colors of the rainbow and women with muscles of steel. It is possible to find all one hundred shades of fashionable grey, coupled immersive art cinema in indistinguishable colorless mass.
PS In the original movie called Body Cam on behalf of the police lapel video recorder, which plays in the story lead role: the heroine all the time studying his notes, trying to decipher their mystery. The quality and especially the clarity we demonstrated the records have no relation to its real possibilities.
