Tom Wolfe was a great writer, Regina King is a good actress but a mediocre director. She fell for the standard American pitfalls: overacting, caricatures in stead of people, not one person seems really credible. It's well shot though. Daniels accent is ridiculous and he is obviously no Kevin Spacey... and this way a great novel is almost ruined. It was a good idea to film this, obviously as an anti-Trump flick, but the way its done is al little saddening, a bit like the Woman King nonsense (the celebrated female warriors in this silly movie were no heroes at all but part of a cruel slavery ring run by the Dahomey, that started long before the Europeans started their cruel and dark share in the already existing business). Anyway, dissapointing. There's no need for yet another director who falls for the standard American mediocre, cliche-like, over-the-top way of portraying stories...
