This one should get a pass

In the wake of Burn Loot Murder riots, films like this get a bad rap, but this was not a race-baiting or woke film. It made you think, made you feel, and promoted the interracial understanding we had way back in the 90's. Where oh where did that inclusivity go.
Viewed with revisionism, this is a woke film. But viewed with objectivity, perhaps it shouldn't be.

If anti-racism is among other things a war against overt stereotyping, then how do we explain this virtue-signaling movie promote all sorts of white stereotypes?

The redneck stereotype, the poor Southerner stereotype, the racist white Southerner stereotype, racism is rampant in the South stereotype...

This is one of the early anti-white films. Naive people remember it fondly, trying to make excuses for all of its political nonsense, pretending that Marxist films did not exist before this century, when in fact Hollywood has been making hateful propaganda since the late 60s.

Rubbish thriller based on lies...
