This movie is a story changer to everywhere across the United States and so on beyond around the world mostly for black people to change those different paths. Being a black person is one of the hardest parts to appear in the open world wherever you are hoping for equality among whites and other races to live in peace and respective not to never be targeted. Darkness within you is who come after you because of your skin color's such darker than the white people just living of hate and fear don't even care if you're a human being only a nothing they see. No police officer shouldn't have the right or their call to be Judge, Jury, and Executioner on mostly people of color. No one serves to be treated like a criminal or being called an animal just because you're different as anybody else around anywhere you live. The officers who killed those who were unarmed innocent citizens and not the ones that didn't commit any crimes in the matter. Those cops they have failed their communities, cities, and this country the United States. Someday the police will face unattended consequences by someone coming after every one of them who failed this country.

So two decent law abiding individuals meet up on a tinder date, then wind up accidentally killing a racist trigger happy cop. Then become wanted fugitives trying to evade being hunted and killed by the police and the system, and attempt flee to Cuba for sanctuary. Sounds interesting, but everything in between seemed slow, dull, and awkward. Didn't care for the prolonged soft porn car sex scene mixed with a protest scene. TRUE ROMANCE had a better love story. Watch Dark Blue and Panther 1995.

Guys, just screenshot the trolls that are giving it one star reviews, if you're mad at the movie cuz they killed a crooked-racist cop then your OBVIOUSLY racist for defending it. Review time, this movie kinda surprised me ,i was expecting a black bonnie and clyde movie but it has more of a powerful message that relates to folks of color and the police system. Movie isnt perfect tho, it does get very slow paced near the end, and the climax may be a bit unrealistic to some, but great movie.
