Review of Mississippi Burning (1988) by Jayakrishnan R — 15 Feb 2016
78%.
Saw this on 14/2/16.
Gene Hackman is almost spot on and the film gets it's racial themes right, but it's far from Alan Parker's best film. It underutilizes William Dafoe and it lacks believability because by the end it becomes something similar to a standard Hollywood action movie and it's hard to believe that just a dozen white men are the only ones behind the Ku Klux Klan.
