Enredo
Você sabia?
- CuriosidadesLaurence Fishburne's film debut. He is credited as Laurence Fishburne III.
- Erros de gravaçãoWhen a clay pot is thrown at Officer Atkins and hits the windshield of his cruiser, it breaks. Pieces of glass hit Atkins and embed in his face. But windshields are made of safety glass and though windshields break, they keep the glass in place. So, the glass in this windshield would NOT have flown at Atkins, let alone embed in his face. He would have come out of this situation shaken but physically unharmed.

Parts are painful to watch, but it's a very fine movie
I'm not going to summarize the story of this movie; you can find that above.
Rather, I'll just leave my comments on the experience of watching it.
The ;movie is well acted throughout. And that can, at times, make it difficult to watch. When one of the characters is killed, it is difficult to watch his mother's at first unbelieving reaction to the tragedy. You feel something of her grief just in watching the contorsions of her face and body. It's not easy to watch.
Later, watching the police dept intimidate witnesses to avoid a wrongful homicide verdict is also difficult to watch, but in a different sense. You see how powerless the people in this poor neighborhood are to fight back against such administrative corruption. (I also suppose it doesn't make a lot of sense. I would imagine, though I don't know this as a fact, that even in 1975 police depts would have been insured against such expenses.)
It's refreshing that it is a Black lawyer who wins this suit, and not some Great White Savior.
But at the end, you have no assurance that the same thing won't happen again. And again. And again. The shooting of the young Black man was not directly an act of racism - one of the policemen who shot at him was Black himself, and they had been told the rapist they were pursuing was Black. His death is, rather, the result of sloppy procedure and very bad coincidence.
But the intimidation of the potential witnesses by police dept reps suggests that the people in this neighborhood and other poor ones like it have little access to real justice.
