Didn't have real high hopes going into this movie. I mean, after American History X, can another movie really capitalize on racism, violence, and consequence? Apparently so, as this movie was well made and acted. Radcliffe pushes as hard as he can at the few leads he has, almost to the point you think he's bound to get shot at any moment. As the investigation closes we are left with some stereotypical, mainstream movie scripting. This film doesn't really do anything unique but it's nice to see Daniel branching out into unknown waters and it's definitely worth your time.

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerThe story is very intriguing and had many high points. Imperium does a great job at putting us into the world of supremacists and fascists.The acting overall is okay. Daniel Radcliffe delivers some dry lines but is the best part of the film. Sam Trammell gives a good performance as a well read, smart and intelligent man. Toni Collette and Tracy Letts give the worst performances. They are both very dry and have weak characters.The pacing is a little slow at the beginning, but the it is needed in order to develop Daniel Radcliffe's character. The runtime is neither too long or too short which is great.The editing in this film is at times a little wacky. The scene cuts come out of nowhere and seem forced.Pros: Intriguing story, Radcliffe's performance, and a perfect runtimeCons: Some dry performances, some wacky editing, and slow pacing in the beginning of the filmOverall Rating: 7.0P.S. If you enjoyed this film, you might enjoy American History X and The Believer. Both of these films deal with white supremacy. American History X is one of my all-time favorite films.

The movie promised, yes, but it stayed on the promise. It's too light a movie. The documentary images take me completely out of the film and I get bored in a huge way. This film proposes that all people of this type are like this and stays half-way. Neither the Nazis below are so soft nor are those who drive them so stupid. Nobody manages so many people to any side, being silly, your ideas will not like many people, but to know how to mobilize you have to have charisma and gift of people.Try to teach some worlds that if they were so soft there would be no problem. There was no moment of tension. They do not even go into action. I wish it were so in real life.The casting to me, personally, seems unreal to me. Who is Daniel Radcliffe? I at least not. No character reminds you of a Nazi.The wardrobe is fine and the makeup, but they are so lonely that they can not.Photography is simple. He supports with nothing. He does not put me in the movie.I do not like the address. It does not transmit anything to me. It bores me a lot. Use too much file. I do not like how he narrates or how he composes.It's a movie that does not come to anything

I went in with high hopes with the plot sounding very interesting but I was very let down. First the movie starts with showing a couple FBI agents acting unprofessional and throwing something at him to get his attention when he has headphones on. It then cuts to a scene where the FBI is saying they found some potential WMD material and there is still multiple amounts unaccounted for. They strongly imply that Islamist's have it for some reason because it's from Africa. Then of course it cuts to a female FBI agent schooling all the FBI agents on where the last WMD material was found. I found this as another movie just trying to make a bunch of guys look dumb and a woman leading the way with logic. Then the next scene cuts to her going to Radcliffe's character and showing him a video basically of a white supremacist admitting he has knowledge of the accident that was stated to be not shared by the media. He obviously would become the number one suspect for the entire FBI not just this woman and a rookie FBI agent. They make the FBI look like a bunch of Islamophobic idiots of course everyone except the lone women in the briefing... Daniel Radcliffe's then assumes this horrible backstory where he says he was a marine but it's quite obvious he's not built or carries himself like a soldier. Apparently all you need to do is shave your head and watch a few YouTube videos and your all set for a deep undercover op. They go-to their superior and of course he thinks it's so dumb and he doesn't believe it's worth it when the obvious video of a white supremacist leader talking about privileged information. The whole thing is so plain and lame it's incredibly obvious he isn't a soldier or a white supremacist. He's wearing Levi's which is apparently a no no cause Jews own them but then gives a back story no joke that his brother gave him jeans and as a gift lol. He instantly gets into the upper circles of the group which is really lame cause these groups would obviously be extremely tight nit and they would have grew up together. They also visit him at his apartment which is completely bare without a single sign of fascist ideology. Not a single thing the guy owns has a swastika on it. His tattoos are way to bright to be not recent. I'm guessing it's just airbrush for the movie but they could have made them look more natural. Then it comes to the protest against antifa. Antifa is shown in a very positive light which is concerning because they are usually the first people to go-to violence yell mindless chants and have the hammer and sickle of the communist USSR which is just as bad as a swastika. Overall the movie seems like a horrible attempt at a thriller there no genuine sense of anxiety of being a undercover he does a terrible job to begin with. I do believe Radcliffe's gives a decent performance but the script and plot is terrible. The movie isn't very believable and I'm had a hard time not watching something else. It's extremely far fetched and depicts organizations incorrectly. I'm actually getting frustrated watching it as I really expected something with the same power of American history x or Russell crowes white supremacist movie. If I was one of these guys you bet my ass I'd be able to figure it out. This feels politically motivated picture with a liberal bias as well. They should have done some more research on. The FBI and these organizations cause they feel very rinky dink and cheesy. There's no strong personality's really whatsoever. I can usually find one good thing about a picture but I can't think of a single one. I'd rather watch a kids cartoon.
