Not Thurgood


Marshall (2017)

Directed by Regnald Hudlin this film based on real events stars Chadwick Boseman, Josh Gad, Kate Hudson and Dan Stevens. During the 1940s a lawyer for NCAAA attempts to defend an African American man on trial for rape.

Not entirely historically accurate or that interesting as a biopic of the life of Thurgood Marshall this is fine as a court room drama but nothing special. I would love to see a good film on the life of the African-American Supreme Court Justice but sadly this is not what we get here. At times this seems more like a television movie than something made with a real budget.

2/5
