Based on a true story, this film tells that national newspapers call "blunder" and fall
into the category of "news items." Starting from the gunshot murder of a young black
American in 2009, shot by police on the platform of a subway station, Ryan Coogler
endeavored to make us live the last twenty-four hours of this young father family. Petty
criminal, ex-con, infidel, but also attentive father family, here are a few lines in the
portrait he paints of Oscar Grant, played by Michael B. Jordan. ---- The sequence of
events filmed with a mobile camera puts us at the heart of the action to the fatal
outcome. This effective film that plays on the viewer's empathy carried over from close to
long waiting time in the hospital concerned is a useful reminder of the ordinary, everyday
violence of the police, especially against minorities. The police officer who fired the
shot was sentenced to two years in prison.
