My wife and I watched "The Burial" on Amazon Prime. It stars Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones.
I have to say, it was very entertaining, funny, and even heartwarming. All the better, it's based on a true story of two very different men meeting at the heart.
One thing I liked is that although the two men have their definite ups and downs as the story progresses, it is never the typical trope of two men hating each other at the outset and finally coming to respect each other. They actually respect each other from the start, despite the issues of race that swirl around them. The main plot is: Can this Diverse David Duo manage to topple the corporate Goliath?
Definitely worth a watch. The plot is fairly predictable (it's from a real story, after all), but the acting is what it's about.
Foxx seems at his best portraying real people, and Tommy Lee Jones always delivers.
