Trivia
John Boyega was originally set to star. However, he left the project midway through filming in 2021, forcing producers to halt production, find a new lead actor, and re-shoot all his scenes.

Goofs
Incorrectly reported as a goof: That the dash camera only starts recording when the roof lights are activated so could not have seen anything incriminating.

Both true in real life and discussed at some length in the dialogue, event recorders of all sorts are constantly recording, but only save the recording when you trigger it; since human intervention is often after key information, it saves some time before the activation as well as afterwards for a time limit or until deactivated. In this case, the police cars were per the dialogue set to record 3 minutes before the activation of the takedown lights, hence the clock to get to the car and the lights activated so the shooting was preserved.

Quotes
Terry Richmond: People getting hurt now either way. The fire last night...
Chief Sandy Burnne: [sighs] Yeah, I heard about that.
Terry Richmond: Yeah, it's gotten out of hand. Real soup sandwich.
Chief Sandy Burnne: We can agree on that.
Terry Richmond: Got me thinking about the conversation we had in the cruiser, about de-escalation? That also takes both sides, you know? So I was thinking, what if we just walk away?
Chief Sandy Burnne: Well now you're starting to talk some...
Terry Richmond: But then I was like naaah.

A surprisingly good movie

I saw this by chance on Netflix and I was pleasantly surprised. The main character is calm, keeps his head down and only retaliate when it is required. Even though he is mistreated by the law enforcement of a particular small town, he always looks for way to "de-escalate" the situation. There's not much violence or action you might expect, but the story build up very nice. You can feel the suffocation when the system has it out for you. The laws drafted to protect the civilians might be used to push them into a corner. That helplessness weighs you down more than you think.

This is a very decent movie and I would recommend to all.
