A hard to believe true story; a standout role for Mark Wahlberg. A young Black FBI agent is sent into 1960s Mississippi to investigate a wave of brutal killings targeting civil rights leaders. Forced to work alongside notorious mafia hitman Greg Scarpa (Wahlberg), he finds himself pulled into a deadly hunt where justice and vengeance begin to blur. Incredible to think that in the 60s, the FBI were struggling to make headway so enlisted a muscle guy / hit man to help them with the race violence of the South… when operating to the letter of the law will not protect the vulnerable.
