The Big Cigar - Reviews

...proof that Hollywood can’t be trusted to tell the stories of Black radicals.

...a slick (to a fault) dramatization of Black Panther Party founder Huey P. Newton’s escape from the FBI to Cuba in the 1970s, and how two producers faked a film production to fund his flight. 

...the thoughful inside story of the Black Panther movement.

...an entertaining and intriguing watch that is thrilling in the right doses.

As a history lesson, one that time and time again reminds us that American law enforcement has been a weapon bludgeoned against those trying to break apart the status quo, The Big Cigar feels particularly timely.

...the Don Cheadle-helmed The Big Cigar packs too much into too little time.

Holland spiller alle facetterne med stor autenticitet. Det er en klassisk stjerneskabende Hollywood-præstation.
