5.7
2014 1 hr 50 min Drama , Crime

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.

Some stories are so far fetched, that they couldn't possibly be anything but a true story. Supremacy is one of those films that is ripped from the headlines, telling the incredible true story of Garrett Tully, a white supremacist who was out of jail for less than twenty-four hours. Tully (Joe Anderson) was released on parole, after spending most of his life behind bars. He was on his way back to the white supremacist strong hold he called home, when he and his girlfriend are stopped by a policeman, a black policeman. It doesn't take long for Tully to jump out of the car and kill the officer, before going on the run. The pair makes their way to a suburban area, where they break into a house and take a black family hostage. Aside from the obvious tension of a hostage situation, there is also extreme racial tension, that makes the whole situation that much harder for the people involved. As events play out, something miraculous starts to occur as Tully, starts to sympathize with his hostages. Danny Glover stars as The homeowner, Mr. Walker, and was beyond phenomenal. Glover excels in films that involve race, because he has this quiet simple way about getting his message across. He's never over the top or in your face about it, he's just a simple man who states the truth, something most people easily relate to. Aside from Glover's performance and the obvious question about what's going to happen, this film was a dud. There is a lot of waiting around, racial slurs, and arguing before we get any answers we seek. Supremacy is basically a film you start to watch, and would like to turn off, but you can't until you find out what happens. My advice, Danny Glover has plenty of other similar significant roles under his belt, and you'd save a lot of time and frustration by simply googling Garrett Tully.

This film started out pretty intense. The racial language was charged and uncomfortable. The main character played by Joe Anderson showed an inner torment that was both expected and at times, nonsensical. The actress who played Doreen, I felt did not do an adequate job of portraying a supposed Aryan Brotherhood worshiper. The emotion in many parts of her character didn't seem to fit the moment.I don't believe this film was meant to be shown for entertainment value, but more for opening up discussion on racism and the complexities of society and justice. I felt it could have developed the subtleties and nuances of racism besides the obvious and extreme state of racism as in the characters in the film.The family all stay very calm and collected throughout most of the film, which felt unnatural and was a surprise to me. Overall, it was the lack of believability of some of the characters that made me rate this film lower than I wanted to.Here is a link to the real story: http://www.sonomasheriff.org/memoriam.php

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.

Saw the Atlanta premiere of Supremacy as part of the Pan African Film Festival. The movie is about a recently released white supremacist who is picked up by his lady friend. Along the way, things go array and they have to seek refuge in the home of an ex-convict (Danny Glover). The former prisoner is set not to go back to prison while Mr. Walker (Danny Glover) is set to lead his family to safety. A high stakes film that is based on a real life story. According to the director who was at the screening, the story was shot in 10 days. Danny Glover shared that it was a team effort and they were free to share their true emotion of this tense movie. This movie touches on the complexity of family, society, and justice as the characters fight to find a path to their own escape. It is a star performance by Danny Glover as he attempts to keep calm during the rage of emotion.
