Rosewood
A powerful historical drama from Boyz 'n the Hood director John Singleton that re-creates with shocking intensity a 1920s wickedness that was hushed up until a anchorman came across the alibi on chance in the early 1980s. Sparked by a faked direct blame of rape, the annihilation of a sooty arbitration beside a mob of Florida rednecks in 1923 was motivated purely out of genealogical hatred. Singleton reconstructs the fact with care, but the intervention of Ving Rhames's fictional Head People Battle superstar and the unconvincing repentance of adulterous shopkeeper Jon Voight damage this otherwise pre-eminent attempt at depicting the attitudes and actions of an unenlightened discretion.
