Hands Up

What did I just watch? I lived in Chicago during the blm riots and this ain't it.

Three times during the Summer of Peace my South Loop neighborhood was attacked by blm rioters. The third time was in August over a lie. BLM activist said an unarmed black youth was killed by the cops. He was 18, wasn't killed, and had a gun. That didn't stop the criminals from attacking our hood for a third time.

The national guard also protected my neighborhood for two weeks. I had to show ID to just drive home from work.

Movies like this pretend the criminals are the victims. It's disgusting and is played out so amateurish.

This is what happens when wokeness green lights a project that would otherwise be laughed out of every serious producer's office. It seems that every aspect of this film was made through the prism of BLM. I'm embarrassed for everyone involved. It is the definition of cliched nonsense. Were any of the filmmakers or cast actual professionals? This seems to be the result of a community project where everyone shared jobs and CRT was read aloud at call time so everyone knew how they were supposed to think. There are fantastic black filmmakers and actors available to make excellent cinema, no-one involved in this absolute garbage can be considered anything other than an utter joke. Would make a good double bill with the new Karen movie for the woke brigade to applaud in their ignorance.

I was expecting the movie to be about Black Lives Matter movement based off of the shooting of Mike Brown. Was I highly disappointed? Yes, yes I was. The movie didn't line up with the title. Very amateur directing and acting. Not worth the watch.

Try to support our people but the trailer is not even how the movie plays out. Story is legit but the trailer makes you believe that it's how the movie really is. Definitely out West tho lol.

Hats off to the director and executive producer of this movie!! This is the first movie and directorial premiere for the director/writer! I thought the movie was very good and captured a weekend of events of real life in Chicago!!! Anyone from the Westside of Chicago will appreciate seeing familiar neighborhoods and landmarks and the majority of the actors/extras in the movie are from the neighborhood and it was really COOL seeing them shining brightly on the big screen! Please don't let the negative reviews distract you from watching...give the movie a chance for yourself! Can't wait for the writer/director to make his next film!! (Shout out to Atwater (Chicago P. D) so handsome!!)
