*By Any Means *follows a black FBI agent (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) charged with finding the culprits targeting and killing civil rights leaders in Mississippi.
The agent teams up with Greg Scarpa (Mark Wahlberg), a renowned mafia hitman, who inevitably pushes him to cross the line. Audiences like this movie (87 per cent score), which is inspired by a true story (Yahya’s character is based on Lindley DeVecchio, a real-life FBI agent who navigated the Mafia wars of the 80s and 90s).
Critics were not nearly as impressed (52 per cent rating). They agree that *By Any Means *gives viewers the satisfaction of watching deranged racists get what they deserve. However, they feel like everything else takes a back seat to the violence.
The movie fails to deliver anything meaningful in terms of character and plot. You can watch By Any Means in cinemas today.
