This Year, Night Catches Unstoppable Colored Girls Faster. The upcoming holiday motion picture season brings forth a nice mix of some of our favorite Black artists in a variety of films with appeal for both your cerebral and visceral natures.
In theater one, Denzel’s back in a taut thriller, while Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine and Phylicia Rashad headline Tyler Perry’s version of a beloved Broadway classic in theater two. Dwayne Johnson, the actor formerly known as “The Rock”, switches out of comedy mode for a minute to go blasting his way through a hot action flick in theater three. Meanwhile, in theater four, Anthony Mackie and Kerry Washington’s holiday vehicle is sure to be on everyone’s short list for recognition during the upcoming awards season.
In Night Catches Us, written and directed by Tanya Hamilton, “Marcus” (played by Anthony Mackie) returns to the Philadelphia neighborhood where he came of age in the midst of the Black Power movement. There, he quickly finds himself at odds with the organization he once embraced—whose members suspect he orchestrated the slaying of their former comrade-in-arms. In a startling sequence of events, “Marcus” must protect a secret that could shatter everyone's beliefs, even as he rediscovers his forbidden passion for “Patricia” (played by Kerry Washington).
