The film

A young Black FBI agent is sent into 1960s Mississippi to investigate a wave of brutal killings targeting civil rights leaders. Forced to work alongside notorious mafia hitman Greg Scarpa, he finds himself pulled into a deadly hunt where justice and vengeance begin to blur.

Pre-Release Sentiment

Reactions are split down the middle for this thriller about an FBI agent hunting killers in 1960s Mississippi with a mafia hitman. The central premise of the agent and Greg Scarpa working together is the main draw, scoring decently on story, but that's about it. The cast announcement, led by Mark Wahlberg, has landed poorly, with almost every actor mentioned, including Nicole Beharie and Giancarlo Esposito, getting a cold reception. For many, the concept feels utterly unoriginal, making this a tough sell before it even hits theaters.
