Not historically accurate but Dafoe/Hackman make a good team in search of racist murderers. I met Gene H once. You'll see his dark side here
What a great movie, what a dispicable reason for it. Racism will be our downfall. All men, all!! Are created equal.
Well done. Heartbreaking and evil, unfortunately true enough
Very powerful movie covering racial injustices, a must watch
The complexities of the main leads are really what make this movie. It really balances out the black and white morality of the rest of it.
A great movie. Plot is so well written and makes you so frustrated throughout. Such a well done film.
An amazing story about racism and corruption, and a civil injustice between the KKK and the black people. And it has a good casting as well.
This is a great, but poignant thriller. Dafoe and Hackman were excellent.
An overall solid crime story with a great cast. Nothing new to write home about but still worth a watch at least.
Old American movie about racism in the south and a man trying to help out
