Written and directed by Jordan Peele
Stars: Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Brandon Perea, Steven Yuen, Michael Wincott, and Keith David
After having some thoughts about Jordan Peele's last effort, I hoped that this movie was not going down the M. Night Shyamalan route of going cuckoo bonkers. It didn't.
OJ Haywood (Kaluuya) and his younger sister, Emerald (Palmer) are to keep their horse wrangling business afloat along with the ranch when their father, Otis (David) dies in a freak accident. OJ notices something strange in the clouds above their ranch. The siblings enlist the help of tech guy, Angel (Perea) with cameras to capture whenever is in the sky.
I was worried that this movie was going to have some batshit crazy twist or a ludicrous reveal. It didn't have that. It was a story about people having to deal with something out of this world.
This is the most straightforward movie that Peele has ever done. There was something that I didn't understand. There is a flashback in the film with Jupe (Yeun) as a young actor. Do I miss something? Why was that there?
Rating: 8/10
