Featured reviews
These reviews are hilarious. They've been written by spammers and bots. Each review is vague and meaningless. One reviewer wrote the following; "The director's debut features Idris Elba, before he became a planet". Someone was obviously paid to write a review in their native language and google translate was utilized to provide an English translation. We know people do this all the time. Idris Elba does not STAR in this film nor is he affiliated with this product. 88's review section is a perfect of the content you will find in this film. It is an incoherent mess with a ludicrous plot and immensely deceptive messaging. Orlando Jones couldn't save this. Every plot point was so basic and predictable. The biggest problem with this movie is that it's fantasy. It would have worked better as a "Twilight Zone"/"Black Mirror" episode.
I was fortunate enough to catch this film when it was available and it did not disappoint. I find lately with my entertainment, i crave less and less the pretentious and seek the profound. Films with tales that actually have something to say. Eromose is a fantastic story teller and in this fresh take of a political thriller are revamped, reimagined and even new elements of this genre that already has a plethora of other film entries of its kind. This is the kind of filmmaker that truly is a master of his craft and takes his work seriously , which shows in his product. My hope is to see a wide release of this film but even more so, i look forward to seeing more work from the director in the future.
Fantastic film that is extremely relevant to the corruption of Super PAC's and their contributions to political parties. It is beyond me how a film of this caliber can only have a a four star writing. I am also shocked this film is receiving the same level of media attention as most films these days received. Its a gem of a movie. Overall pacing of the film is great, acting fantastic, story intriguing. This film pulled me in in the same manner many other great corruption films of the past have like All Thr President's Men, JFK or Inside Man. Do yourself a favor and watch this film you won't be disappointed.
88 is a political thriller with a pointed message for *right now*. I went to the theatre for a few hours of mindful entertainment and was thrilled to find a thought-provoking, riveting and well-told story.
Lovers of political thrillers will be deeply satisfied. Movie buffs will notice the nods to Hitchcock, Scorsese and All the President's Men. 70s babies like me will reminisce about School House Rock during a brief and brilliant segment/explainer on SuperPacs and Citizens United. Must see.

Clever and brilliantly written. I appreciate the boldness of the filmaker. The ideas presented in the film will certainly be controversial to some. The topic of Race is explored in a different way than most films that touch on it. Less trauma and more resiliance. Most importantly, this political thriller is entertaining and will leave you thinking about it longer after seeing it.
