MISSISSIPPI BURNING (1988) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Alan Parker

Written by - Chris Gerolmo

Starring - Gene Hackman, Willem Dafoe

 

"Two FBI agents with different investigative styles arrive in Mississippi to search for three Civil Rights activists. It works better as a cop thriller than a Civil Rights movement drama, perhaps intentionally, but nevertheless Parker is once again compelling in his portrayal of the cruelty of humans, a reoccurring theme in his work. Hackman and Dafoe are excellent."
