I remember reading about the film, Night Catches Us, quite some time ago. However, for some reason I never heard much else about its release. Luckily, I was finally able to watch it via Netflix.
I was really interested in the film’s story line…an ex-Black Panther returns home after being gone for a lengthy period of time. Not only does he meet opposition from former party members as a result of his sketchy disappearance, he also rekindles a passionate relationship with an old friend/ former Black Panther…sounds interesting, doesn’t it?
After the long wait to see this film, I’m happy to say it doesn’t disappoint. It has great performances from Anthony Mackie and Kerry Washington as well as actual footage from the movement.
