88, a propulsive political thriller from writer director Eromose makes all the right noises. It has shades of All The President’s Men, draws audiences in like Spotlight, yet lands just shy of mirroring The Ides of March. Jam-packed with jargon-heavy dialogue concerning political action committees, or PACS for short, Eromose steals a leaf from Jurassic Park by way of The Big Short to make things easier.
Centering all the action around Femi Jackson (Brandon Victor Dixon), a financial campaign manager for Presidential candidate Harold Roundtree (Orlando Jones), 88 comes out swinging hard from the outset. Referencing race specific hot topics including Black Lives Matter, and MCU empowerment flick Black Panther, as well as contemporary rap icon turned business mogul 50 Cent.
