I'm a 65 year old white man saying that I think what troubles some critics is that unlike most movies it is the black man who lives, doing this by killing every white S.O.B on the Plantation and then blowing it to Hell. Jamie Foxx being a black cowboy hero at end for blacks viewers as white viewers had in Wayne and Eastwood. The opening song sounds like Frankie Laine of cowboy movie beginnings. It's not a Documentary, anymore than True Grit or Josey Wales. It does bring a Black Slave turned Cowboy Hero and the real story is his rescue of his wife from slavery, so a love story to it. What may upset critics is Foxx kills every white S.O.B. and rides away from plantation with his rescued wife like a black Rambo.....I liked the movie of The Black Cowboy Hero with the Hitchcock important love angle of rescue of his wife. Hitchcock would say the love rescue is the real story, don't worry about the rest.....In the end it's just a Cowboy Movie, except THE HERO IS BLACK, riding into sunset with his rescued wife at Cowboy Movie End....or as they say in Blazing Saddles, " You would do it for Randolph Scott ".

It's a damn shame that this movie will not be on The Big Screen as much as it should be. All this work by director and actors used to push a streaming site. This means it may never be on TV movie channels uncut either. As long as it is Netflix only, it may be the Best Movie nobody gets to see. I refuse to give credit card info to internet Netflix or pay 190 bucks or some damn price for Netflix. This should get no Oscar or Emmy awards, is there a computer steaming award, Who Ha.. I wanted to see in theater, but it's not there. Tom Hanks as Mr Rogers is there and other movies, but not this, so forget about it.

FUNNY. I've passed watching this many times, I didn't know it was a comedy of 1950's Hollywood. Clooney as a Victor Mature in all those Roman Jesus movies. The Gene Kelly On The Town as always a sailor singing No More Dames, and then the sailors start dancing together looking forward to sea duty with No Dames. The Jesus on the cross and the studio guy asks him if he gets a box lunch or a sandwich. I grew up watching all these 1950's movies and this is a great Lampoon of those movies, stars, Hedda Hopper and even Commie Blacklist. 1950's Movies get the Saturday Night Live treatment and it's Funny.

Love it, almost didn't watch thinking just for little kids. FUNNY. I Love people rising up saying, " If Batman has been around 100 some years, how come Gotham still the most crime riddled city ever. Batman does nothing ".

It shows madness at various degrees, and yet possible family & friends. After watching this turn to the news as see dysfunctional governments and madness of world political & world religious leaders as has been the case all of world history. Not war & peace, but war & disaster. So we are all like the characters in The Fisher King, madness at various degrees in a wacky, crazy world. So if you find any Family & Friends, Great. Either way, give yourselves credit for your resilience, Salute'.
