Holy shit. What a masterpiece.
This movie is based on the real life disappearance of 3 civil rights workers, and the search that followed for them.
Everything about this movie is about as perfect as it could be. Gene Hackman and William Dafoe (and the rest of the cast) give impeccable performances. The pacing is god damned perfection, and the writing is excellent. The music and cinematography are also top notch.
I don't want to spoil a single thing about this movie, but I can tell you enthusiastically that you will not regret watching it.
After seeing the movie, you could also check out some interesting background info on the events from the period itself, such as contemporary reporting on the event from CBS, and the documentary Summer in Mississippi from 1965.
Excellent movie. This is the first time I saw Willem Dafoe in anything.
I think I'd only seen him in less serious roles before this, he really nailed it here.
