Admittedly, I cringe when I see switched identity stories which tend to lean into predictable and familiar territories. This film is the exception. They were able to leverage it into an entertaining, fun and thoughtful piece of art that resonates and felt real. Tackling racial tension in film is a bit tricky, but I enjoyed how it was approaced here with great nuance and care. Accomplishing this I attribute to memorable performances of the lead actors who both had great chemistry together. Additionally, the storyline, dialogue and memorable ending (dont want to spoil it) was a dope conclusion. Kudos to the director and entire team. Highly recommend you check out this important film.
Plot summary
The movie opens with tension running high as a black woman is stopped by three white police officers. After being shoved to the ground, she dies from head injuries. Micah a black activist in the city is very angry at police officers and is leading the community to retaliate like Malcom X but he is switched with a white police officer just like in freaky Friday. He wakes up as a white police officer and the officer wakes up black. The two of them soon realize what it is like to walk in other peoples shoes and learn to grow empathy for each other. The two characters bond before switching back and now their outlook on the protest is completely different. Now Micah sees that not all police officers are bad and if they want to achieve true justice it will take everyone black and white working together.
