Blindfire (2020)
Written & directed by Michael Nell this film stars Brian Geraghty, Sharon Leal and Bethany Joy Lenz. Two cops respond to an alleged domestic hostage taking and the white cop shoots a black man.
I was worried this film was going to be unabashed cop-aganda, thankfully it is not even if it is not the deepest take on the subject matter. There is some value to exploring the idea that even people that do not consider themselves racist can make split second racist judgements. I would not recommend this film but it does manage to cover a massively controversial subject without making any really terrible mistakes.
3/5
