Just too familiar

 Just Mercy (2019)


Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton this film based on real events stars Micheal B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson. In 1989 an idealistic young African American lawyer heads to Alabama to offer legal aid to inmates on death row.


Unfortunately there is nothing surprising or new about this tale of injustice, racism and the death penalty. Enjoyable as this film is it is sadly just another in a long line of films on similar topics. Well made but just another reminder of how unfair the system is.


3/5
