Queen and Slim

4.5 Stars

This was a really good film. At first, I thought it was going to be your typical Bonnie and Clyde film but it wasn't. There's a couple on the run, but not for robbery. They unfortunately killed a police officer during an unfair traffic stop after the cop actually shot the female passenger. She convinces the driver to leave the scene and make a run for it. I really don't understand why she did that. They kind of had an explanation for what happened. After all, the cop did shoot her. Nevertheless, they are making a run for Cuba and get help along the way from family and strangers who support their run. They are all over the news and America's most wanted. Some people see them as celebrities strangely. Well, the movie is filled with lots of lessons about race, identity, culture, and crime. And not in the ways we see it now. In the beginning of the movie, the gentlemen wants to ask for help from another black person and the female warns him that they can't always be trusted. The only thing I'll say is, she was right and you get to see that at the end of the movie. I don't want to spoil the ending ,but there just cant be a happy one after someone dies. Go see this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
