Intimate moments between Fishback and Kaluuya add welcome dimension, humanizing Hampton -- who was too easily painted as an agitator by his enemies -- as a lover and a fighter.
Variety
King directs with a refreshingly flinty sense of moral clarity, evident right from the film’s opening montage.
Sight and Sound
4 stars out of 5 -- King knows his subject well enough to imbue it with confident, emotional complexity and an irresistible, visual swagger.
Empire
Rating: 7/10 --
It is a historical drama that, in an intriguing and surprising way, takes two hours to tell a story about betrayal, politics and revolutionary causes, with two fascinating performances from Daniel Kaluuya and Lakeith Stanfield. [Full review in Spanish]

Cinemaficionados
[A] tense, methodical historical drama....The script, by King and Will Berson, is layered with ethical snares and ideological paradoxes, and while King’s fast-paced direction doesn’t spare the suspense, it also makes room for sorrow, anger and even a measure of exhilaration.
New York Times
4 stars out of 5 -- [A] fiercely watchable and passionately performed drama from the director Shaka King, with barnstorming performances from Lakeith Stanfield and Daniel Kaluuya...
The Guardian
Rating: 4/5 --
Kaluuya is terrific..

Product Description:
William O'Neal (LaKeith Stanfield) is an FBI agent tasked with infiltrating the Illinois Black Panther Party to keep an eye out for Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya), the group's charismatic leader. As a career thief, he finds joy in manipulating the people he works for, especially his handler Special Agent Roy Mitchell (Jesse Plemons). But as Fred attracts more people and gains more political power, William is faced with a difficult decision: stay loyal to his comrades and thwart Fred and the Black Panther Party, or side with the enemy and align with the forces of good. Directed by Shaka King.
