The story of 7 people on trial stemming from various charges surrounding the uprising at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois.

Solid cast, written and directed by Sorkin. Some of his best work. This movie was fantastic, probably my favorite movie this year.

Should get several Oscar nominations, hopefully some wins.

Finally Netflix knocks one out of the park.

They really just be ignoring the 8th person huh? It's the Chicago 8. Also it's a pretty fucked up story tbh. American police and politicians man...

Well the ‘8th’ is a part of the story, but it’s more centered around the other 7, after Seale is dismissed from the trial

I thought it was really well done.

Sometimes when you watch a film, it's hard to believe someone could be that openly racist... but then, people today, not in film, are just as openly racist.

Made me sad man.

Fucked up world we live in man.


I guess I should get around to watching this. I keep hearing one rave review after another. I've become pessimistic with practically all Netflix content. They've mastered the art of "Just Okay" in both films and shows, but things above that middle point are almost nonexistent on a site with thousands of original movies and shows. Up to the this point, the only Netflix Original I'd give a recommendation for, is The Irishman. Even worse, if I'm being honest with myself, it's easily the worst Scorsese mobster movie and one I'd only recommend to people who love that genre, as the pacing, acting and overall feel of story isn't going to be appealing enough for your anybody recommendations.

It says a lot about the overall quality of their content. I haven't seen Da 5 Bloods, which I've heard is another good film, so it's possible there are two (or three with Chicago) out of the 400+ movies they've made that are above that middle line.

Fucking hell lol. So, I guess that's another one off the list then. I almost always agree with you when it comes to Movies/Shows, so thanks for the heads up.

I didn't say it was good lol. I said it was well done. Portrating something that already happened obbiously limits artistic freedom. I personally wouldn't recommended this to anyone unless this is a genre they were into. I thought the central park 5 reenacted docuseries was alot better.
