Who Is Amos Otis?

It is a well written movie worth watching. Actors are well casted and script was well planned.

What makes this more interesting is the fact that the movie is consistent with legal procedures and the defenseos somewhat consistent with theories. This review comes from the perspectove of a person who foes not give a crap about liberals and democrats as others make it out to be. PS- I come from different country. And it is relatable.

This is not a movie but a filmed play. The courtroom scenes are ridiculous. There are literally 13 people at the trial of a man accused of killing the President. Not even any guards in the room.

Also, it should be noted that in the advertising of this film it has been stated "based on the Pulitzer Nominated play." That is where the truth gets fuzzy. According to Columbia University and the Pulitzer granting board only finalist are 'nominated', which this play was not. Look it up. All finalist since 1980 are listed. Thousands of dramas are entered every year. Just because your community theatre enters your work does not mean you were 'nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.'

So let's talk about truth!

Whether you are left or right, this movie is just brilliant. It is a high quality production but more importantly the two lead actors, Rico Reid and Josh Katawick, turn in strong, powerful performances.

It may or may not refer to the Trump years, on that you will have to draw your own conclusions.

Who is Amos Otis is both the title of the movie and the lingering question until the very end. Is Otis who he says he is and is he from where he claims to be? How that question is dealt with in the courtroom is the heart of the drama,

If you have a chance to see this production, then watch it. You won't regret it.

Very well done courtroom drama. Excellent acting and story. It keeps you guessing, even after it's over. I find it amusing that several reviewers here have gotten totally unhinged thinking it's about a presidential candidate they worship as their Messiah. His name is never uttered in the movie and it's obviously a fictional character. Too funny!

I just watched the film at the recommendation of a friend, and I liked it!

I felt the courtroom scenes played out realistically for the most part, with the possible exception of the prosecutor whose whiny outbursts and badgering of John Doe probably wouldn't have been tolerated by the judge. The public defender was particularly sympathetic, well-acted, and believable.

With a smidge of the "what if you could go back to kill Baby Hitler" moral argument, it is imaginative, enthralling, and--for those capable of it--thought-provoking. To that last point, I did also enjoy the sweet, sweet tears of a couple other reviewers here. Amusing!
