Synopsis

The story centers on paroled white supremacist who has just killed a cop, and takes a black family hostage. Within hours of being released from 14 years of solitary confinement in maximum-security Pelican Bay State Prison, Garrett Tully is on the run again. When he finds a house off a dirt road and takes a family hostage, he thinks the Aryan Brotherhood has his back–and his kidnap victims are black. The family’s patriarch, Mr. Walker, is a jaded ex-con who hates cops so much he disavowed his own son for becoming one. Seeing a familiar desperation in Tully, Walker refuses to call the authorities for help, causing familial tensions to escalate, and soon grave missteps are made.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
robertscholl Google Robert Walter Scully Jr. He was a member of the Aryan Brotherhood. One difference was that he used a shotgun in the slaying of a Sonoma County Deputy Sheriff at the traffic stop in the beginning.
mshavzin I watched it because I thought a review suggested that it was "ripped from the headlines" its not. Garett Tully has never existed in real life! I googled the name, and the circumstances of the plot. Ironically, the closest thing I could find is quite opposite, and that was a recent Chicago kidnapping and torture of a mentally challenged white teenager by four African American young adults led by Brittany Herring, who were emboldened by anti Trump sentiment, and who attended many BLM meetings. So I guess it has some similarity to the plot of this film. Perhaps this movie is a race reversed version of that. More likely, its just a typical, boring, contrived, pandering story that is as predictable as it is stupid. Not "ripped from the headlines" at all. Unless its the made up headlines we see so often today. Teaches me to read a few lines of a review and base my decisions to watch on that. Don't make my mistake. Don't watch this film.
timlin-4 While the characters are well developed, this movie's attempts at creating drama or delivering a message fail. Anderson energetically plays his character like Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad, Glover whispers powerfully like Don Corleone, and Olivieri has the most interesting performance that resembles one of Toni Collette's neurotic characters. But the actions of the characters don't really make any sense, they are crudely forced into the story, unnaturally animated like puppets. Even more unforgivable, the movie skips ahead some minutes past a key scene so that it can be revealed later through a flashback. This is so infuriating I had to adjust my rating even lower as I wrote this. And of course the ending was not any better, some intensity is conveyed, but it's contrived and basically silly.
MartinHafer When the film "Supremacy" begins, you see a message that says that this story is based on a real case. I did a bit of research and could find nothing about this case--but it sure left me wanting to know more. The opening scene is just outside a prison and Garrett Tully (Joe Anderson) has been released. A women he doesn't know is there to pick him up, and obviously some sort of wicked plan is uniting them. Before too long, their pickup truck is stopped by the police and Tully panics and kills the cop. They flee and soon take refuge in a home full of people. The choice of homes is ironic, considering that Tully is an avowed white supremacist--and their captives are a black family. Through the rest of the film, you see Tully and his female accomplice terrorize the family and you wonder if any of these people are going to end up alive by the end of the story.As you can tell by my description that this film has a very simple plot. However, it makes the most of it and is an awfully well made film considering its humble pedigree. The director (Deon Taylor) and the writer (Eric J. Adams) are relative newbies with filmmaking. And, apart from Danny Glover who plays the family patriarch, the actors are mostly folks who will be unknown to the viewer. But it all works so well. In particular, the acting of Anderson as the kidnapper, Lela Rochon (Odessa, the mother) and Glover (Mr. Walker) are really superb and make the story seem quite real.This is not a perfect film but it is far better than I'd expected it to be. The ending alone is more than enough reason to watch the film. My only reservations are about the appropriateness of the film for all audiences. It has a few violent scenes, one sexual encounter and a ton of language that might just make you blush. While the language certainly help to give this one an R rating here in the States, I appreciated how the film avoided being politically correct--and used extremely vivid and offensive racial epithets and stereotypes. After all, racism is ugly and here it is shown in all its ugliness. Well done and worth seeing.
