Matt Roush says...
In a lively caper reminiscent of the Oscar-winning Argo, André Holland (The Knick) stars as notorious Black Panthers founder Huey P. Newton, who’s determined to flee America after he alleges that he’s been framed for murder by the feds. Newton finds an unlikely ally in maverick Hollywood producer Bert Schneider (Alessandro Nivola), who concocts a scheme to smuggle the fugitive to Cuba under cover of a fake movie production, titled The Big Cigar. What could go wrong? Just about everything.
