As it turns out, plenty. Especially since his pal and coworker, Miles (Rafael Casal), is a loose canon with a hair-trigger temper. And then there's this problem: Driving home, rushing to meet his 11 p.m. curfew, he witnesses a white policeman shoot an unarmed Black man in the back. Four times.
The incident haunts Collin. And as we all know, there's nothing he can do about it.
What makes this tragi-comedy work as well as it does, and it works stupendously, is Collin's off-the-charts likeability. You want him to make it. And so you're sitting on the edge of your seat for 95 minutes.
The Movie Slut felt like she almost knew what it was like to be a young Black man in America. And it was f---ing scary.
