John Boyega shines as Leroy Logan, who is one of my favorite characters to watch in something from 2020. He really balances the pressures of the job, racial injustice, the idea of feeling like a traitor to his community and his father, and general life pressures made him not only a great person to profile. You really get into the head of this character to understand what the real guy must have went through as the first Black cop. I really liked that the academy training didn’t have people riding him because of his race, it was only when he climbed further up the ladder that you see it. It was also such a great story to have in a Black Lives Matter world. I love seeing Antonia Thomas in anything, I just wish she had more to do here.
