Details

The story centers on paroled white supremacist who has just killed a cop, and takes a black family hostage. Within hours of being released from 14 years of solitary confinement in maximum-security Pelican Bay State Prison, Garrett Tully is on the run again. When he finds a house off a dirt road and takes a family hostage, he thinks the Aryan Brotherhood has his back–and his kidnap victims are black. The family’s patriarch, Mr. Walker, is a jaded ex-con who hates cops so much he disavowed his own son for becoming one. Seeing a familiar desperation in Tully, Walker refuses to call the authorities for help, causing familial tensions to escalate, and soon grave missteps are made.

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
robertscholl 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.
Tss5078 Some stories are so far fetched, that they couldn't possibly be anything but a true story. Supremacy is one of those films that is ripped from the headlines, telling the incredible true story of Garrett Tully, a white supremacist who was out of jail for less than twenty-four hours. Tully (Joe Anderson) was released on parole, after spending most of his life behind bars. He was on his way back to the white supremacist strong hold he called home, when he and his girlfriend are stopped by a policeman, a black policeman. It doesn't take long for Tully to jump out of the car and kill the officer, before going on the run. The pair makes their way to a suburban area, where they break into a house and take a black family hostage. Aside from the obvious tension of a hostage situation, there is also extreme racial tension, that makes the whole situation that much harder for the people involved. As events play out, something miraculous starts to occur as Tully, starts to sympathize with his hostages. Danny Glover stars as The homeowner, Mr. Walker, and was beyond phenomenal. Glover excels in films that involve race, because he has this quiet simple way about getting his message across. He's never over the top or in your face about it, he's just a simple man who states the truth, something most people easily relate to. Aside from Glover's performance and the obvious question about what's going to happen, this film was a dud. There is a lot of waiting around, racial slurs, and arguing before we get any answers we seek. Supremacy is basically a film you start to watch, and would like to turn off, but you can't until you find out what happens. My advice, Danny Glover has plenty of other similar significant roles under his belt, and you'd save a lot of time and frustration by simply googling Garrett Tully.
kenklasser Spoiler Alert!!! I have a question but it reveals a small item. So if you haven't seen this movie, don't read this review. If you've seen the movie, then you know what I'm talking about if you also noticed it. Or maybe you know the answer? If so how do you know it? Thanks.I thought the movie was great. A basic plot line yet done right. It's gripping and thought-provoking, and leaves you just sort of pondering - it sticks with you. I only had one complaint, a loose end as it were - and here's the spoiler: What happened to Anthony? The last we hear is when Odessa is on the phone and then says that he's dying and she's going to go to him. But they never follow up. Did he die? Or did he recover? That strikes me as an important point that they never return to.
kosmasp As a thriller this works nicely, mostly because of the performances. The characters and the setting is pretty simple. As is the mindset of certain individuals in this. Danny Glover showing is once again, that contrary to what one of his characters says, he's not getting too old for this. Good performance to counter the other lead performance. Racism and violence meets with dignity and calmness.In the most crazy situation, where everything seems to fall apart, it's tough to stay cool and not be affected by this. The movie is obviously a morality tale, not only about crime (and that you're alone in it, even when it seems like you have an ally), but the stark contrast between hate and love. Real family and made up family too ...
