Imperium 2016

     This film is inspired by the real story of FBI agent Michael German and he helped co-write the script.  Nate Foster is working for the FBI, he is persuaded to go undercover and infiltrate a radical white supremacy terrorist group.  Nate must watch everything he says and everything he does constantly. The group is nervous out moles.

     The physical appearance and mentality of Daniel Radcliffe doesn’t seem to be one that the supremacists would readily accept as one of their group?  His body build doesn’t look like them?  He doesn't act or talk like them?  The dialog doesn’t say much except F bombs one after another?  There is continual back and forth at the FBI about if they do or don't have a case?  2* (I didn’t like this movie)

109 min, Crime directed by Daniel Ragussis with Daniel Radcliffe, Toni Collette, Tracy Letts, Sam Trammell, Nestor Carbonell, Chris Sullivan, Seth Numrich, Pawel Szajda, Devin Druid, Burn Gorman, Adam Meier. Roger Yawson.
