FILM DESCRIPTION:
When a group of civil rights workers goes missing in a small Mississippi town, FBI agents Alan Ward (Willem Dafoe) and Rupert Anderson (Gene Hackman) are sent in to investigate. Local authorities refuse to cooperate with them, and the African American community is afraid to, precipitating a clash between the two agents over strategy. As the situation becomes more volatile, the direct approach is abandoned in favor of more aggressive, hard-line tactics.

Willem Dafoe and Gene Hackman are both so good. I sometimes forget how great this film was

WondersPonder

The best part of this scene was the last line . . . . . "it was a war long before we got here." That line was profound, deep, and so true!!

This is a very difficult movie to watch but at the same time this is one of Gene Hackman"s best performances

The sight of suited men prepared to walk through such a wild environment is a powerful allegory of their tenacity to get to the bottom of the case no matter what it takes.

"It was a war long before we got here."

Truer words were never spoken.

Willem dafoe's best movie and most historically significant! Pairing with gene hackman, absolutely brilliant

I don't care what anyone says or thinks, this movie is FLAWLESS 👍

Everyone's talking about the suits. It does show how the agents are out of their element, it also shows their dogged pursuit of the case, regardless of how uncomfortable it is, but also, I believe, it's just that this is the period. People wore suits back then--it wasn't always considered super-fancy dress wear, you just wore them to work every day, especially if you were in the FBI.

William Defoe was such a compassionate character in this movie. When he asked where the hate comes from I wanted to cry.

What a brilliant score. The artificiality of synthesizers really makes an interesting contrast with the natural setting of the swamp.
