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.

Just average

Average First Blood type film though nowhere near as violent. A black ex-marine innocently gets in a world of trouble in good ol' boy country and has to fight his way out and get some revenge on the side. But this is not really a revenge film. It's a fight for justice film with a strong lead performance by the charismatic Aaron Pierre. I would think he has a big future, but hopefully in better films than this and the lamentably bad Foe (read the book instead!). Nearly all the cops, led by a convincingly vile Don Johnson, in this small town are corrupt and the only assistance this poor guy gets is from the only two women who are seen in this film. Make of that what you will, but this is minor league stuff with some decent car chases, which is good as it seems half the movie takes place in various vehicles. The plot is a bit convoluted, but I've seen much worse and so have you.
