An interesting look inside Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje's life growing up as a child in a farming system in the UK. It's pretty much an auto-bio pic considering he wrote and directed it. The way the movie starts you'd think it would be a pretty traditional drama about a kid trying to find his identity of being British and Nigerian, but it quickly takes a left turn that you don't expect. The majority of the movie actually deals with Adewale joining a skinhead gang and they pretty much do some Clockwork Orange style sh**. You start seeing some first time director problems with this movie. Once it gets to the 2nd act, the movie devolves and starts becoming cartoonish even though it's tackling some interesting issues. Overall, it's a movie that's rough around the edges and not nearly as great as it could be, but it's an interesting movie to be out in 2019. 6.5/10
A much better movie than I was expecting after some of the critiques about pacing. It did take 5 minutes to actually go somewhere but once it went, it did not bore me.
