Is it just me or is there an overarching metaphor in the post apocalyptic dystopian thriller 40 Acres - where the Blacks and the Native American live off the land they have inherited over generations - they neither help nor hurt anyone - while the White people essentially become predators - cannibals who will eat their kin to survive. Protagonist Hailey (Danielle Deadwyler) along with Native American husband Galen (Michael Greyeyes), along with their children - notably son Emanuel (Kataem O'Connor) and daughter Raine (Leenah Robinson) - fight it out on the homestead against prefatory people and the inevitable final showdown against overwhelming odds. Rather well executed with uniformly believable performances and realistic action sequences
15.5/20
