Frans B Stellar performances by Hackman and Dafoe. No wonder Hackman withdrew his rights to the Silence of the Lambs novel after seeing a clip of himself in this movie, it made him uneasy about taking more violent roles Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review Desiray M The two main leads were absolutely brilliant. I felt they really feed of each other. One is by the books and the other wants to do it his way. Then comes the drama and the injustice to make the audience get angry and emotional. To the judge letting the criminals off. It all makes to vision how it was back in 1964. I loved the one ups and comebacks they used. I thought that was hilarious. “You’re so far up my nose, your boots on my chin”. I did take away a star because some scenes were too dramatic, from the music to the dead animals. The characters were all very thought out and I truly enjoyed it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/13/25 Full Review Dick C It's a tribute to late Gene... Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Johannes S Really good performances combined with an interesting story. The Mississippi setting is also great. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Ricardo B Ambientado em 1964, no interior do Mississipi, coração do sul dos Estados Unidos, durante o auge da segregação, quando as tensões raciais se encontravam em seu ápice, e vagamente baseado em um caso real, beirando a ficção histórica, esse é — não ironicamente — um suspense criminal incendiário. Graças às excelentes atuações de Gene Hackman e Willem Defoe, à direção crua e realista de Alan Parker e à intensa trilha sonora de Trevor Jones, "Mississipi em Chamas" nos passa a sensação de estarmos assistindo um barrio de pólvora prestes a explodir, completamente incapazes de evitar a tragédia. Um retrato de um país em guerra consigo mesmo e espetáculo de tensão e suspense, marcado por comentários sociais atemporais. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Robert B With the recent passing of Gene Hackman, I decided to revisit this epic classic movie that he took part in. I’ve seen a few times before, but this time I paid much closer attention to the portrayal of the role that Hackman played. In my own humble opinion, Hackman could’ve easily won an Academy award for this picture opposite Willem Dafoe who is equally brilliant. But, it’s Hackman‘s portrayal of a simmering brooding yet loyal, tender, and affectionate FBI agent that leaves me In awe of his brilliant performance. There’s a lot of hate today for whatever reason, and re-watching this movie reassured me that there is goodness in the world, And that our world was made better for having an actor like Gene Hackman within it.
