We are in Chicago and it's a dark, dark world. We see a violent vehicular chase, a cold-blooded murder, a spell-binding evangelist, a smooth politician and a tough-talking mobster. We are in a place and time where ignorance is the new normal.
Part of McQueen's enormous cast:
- Viola Davis ("Fences" and she was stunning in "Ender's Game") Veronica wants to stop the pain of loss. Her little dog also grieves. Finally she says, "We have a lot of work to do. Crying isn't on the list."
- Liam Neeson ("Silence") Harry intended for Veronica to use what he left her.
- Michelle Rodriguez ("The Fate of the Furious") Linda wants her little store back; she didn't even know it was at risk. She asks, "Guns? From where?" Alice states the obvious, "It's America!"
- Elizabeth Debicki ("Guardians of the Galaxy") Alice wants her mom to stop pimping her out. This lanky lady is not only gorgeous, she's smart!
- Jacki Weaver ("Out of the Blue") Agnieska is that mom we love to hate!
- Cynthia Erivo ("Bad Times at the El Royale") Belle is exactly the person for the job...and can she RUN!
- Robert Duvall ("Wild Horses") Tom Mulligan has a tendency to oversimplify the situation. Like yelling will make it so!
- Colin Farrell ("Roman J. Israel, Esq.") Tom's son Jack is a smooth operator who likes the wheels to be well greased.
- Daniel Kaluuya ("Get Out") Jatemme is chilling. That's all I'm gonna say.
- Bryan Tyree Henry ("Atlanta") Jamal often finds himself in over his head. This time, maybe he can get elected.
