Supremacy

Google Robert Walter Scully Jr. He was a member of the Aryan Brotherhood. One difference was that he used a shotgun in the slaying of a Sonoma County Deputy Sheriff at the traffic stop in the beginning.

Thought that critics were incredibly unfair to this movie, which I thought was quite worthwhile, although not perfect (but what is?). Don't like to write reviews but thought anyone looking into this film might want to know that there is more info about Robert Scully in an Atlantic article about the prison system titled "When They Get Out", dated June 1999; you can google (or bing, as I prefer) it to read it in full. The information on Tully is in the 1st half of the article.

Joe Anderson is a name you wouldn't recognize like the famous Danny Glover, but you should. The both of them set the screen on fire with this story. Amazing acting, great film.

I was a nervous wreck watching this. It was so well done...the flashbacks worked and the acting was terrific. I don't understand the negativity surrounding this film. A must se movie. My sister suggested it...I'm passing that suggestion on. Excellent.

This movie about a white supremacist released on parole who shortly thereafter kills a police officer is based on a real case. 1995 Slaying of Officer Frank Trejo. The convicted murderers actual name was Scully., in this movie the name is Tully. The movie adds the racism part, but the actual hostage situation was a real occurrence. So setting the real aside and taking this movie for what it is, it's pretty good. It deals with the subject of racism far better than the movie I just watched before it, MFA, dealt with the subject of college rape. This movie has a great cast. Danny Glover is in top form. Joe Sullivan's performance is good, and really a short appearance by Anson Mount was pretty intense. This movie turned out to be a lot more than I expected it to be. 7/10.

For me, this film is a good work if you simply see it for what it is and not expect lashings of profundity and layering. There is social commentary but not really anything new; which is fine. There are human interactions that are credible and work well. Nothing too complex, but that's okay too. I feel that this film implants those things solidly, if not particularly uniquely, but delivers overall as a taut experience for the viewer. It is tense from beginning to end. Which may turn some people off. And, based on a true story, you know the plot is only going to go one of two or three ways. I was engaged enough to want to find out which way, because it was the ride along the film's surface that was the best part. Tight script, realistic dialogue, exceptional acting across the board (the young boy is incredible in the kitchen scene), and realistic "action" -- nothing cartoonish or overblown about it. To the contrary. The primary murder scene we see is time-spliced and delivered artfully so as to increase its impact. There is a sense of realism that is fully intact, which is never easy to achieve inside of a couple of hours AND fulfill plot movement, a certain degree of character complexity, etc. Opinions will differ because appraising art will always be highly subjective. Apparently most critics slammed Supremacy when it came out. But critics are just people who've seen a lot of movies and read books about them, paid for their opinions -- and I'm not sure many of them could make a decent film themselves. Certainly not one of the "best" movies I've seen, but a complete and polished package within the scope of the script. And for anyone who likes their "dramaction" stretched as taut as a drum skin, it will be a couple of hours well spent.

And all the Caucasian women love us btw. We came a long way . So watch the movie with pride.love the talent of the brothers and sisters who's acting in the movie.

I know the sister of this man, Robert Scully Jr. She was my caregiver for 2 years and she shared stories about her family with me. This is a true story. Robert was in trouble with the law since he was young. He had just been released from prison the very day he killed a sheriff and broke into the home of an African American family and took them hostage. The deputy sheriff was in the wrong place at the wrong time and he is the real victim in this story. Of course so was the family who was taken hostage was terrorized by his actions. Thank God they all lived. Scully and his accomplice who I feel set some of the events that happened on this day into motion, deserve what they got. For those of you who were unable to find information about this crime, I'm not sure what to tell you except it is a true story. You might try a Google search for Robert Walter Scully Jr.

I thought the storyline was believable. I think you're acting was just okay. If it wasn't for Danny Glover, the movie would have sucked.
