Sundance 2022: 20 Films You Need To Know About
18. 892
Based on true events, 892 chronicles a traumatised Marine (John Boyega) who takes the employees of a bank hostage in the hope of having his missing disability check paid.
An urgent and upsetting drama about the means through which society's most vulnerable and under-served can fall through the cracks, 892 is driven forward by a magnetic, ferocious, career-best performance from John Boyega.
With killer support from Nicole Beharie and the late, great Michael K. Williams, this tightly wound dramatic thriller nods to the classics of the genre like Dog Day Afternoon while feeling thematically rooted in present-day concerns.
Don't be surprised if this is one of the most stressful films you see all year.
