The only thing really truthful about this movie is that Andre Stander was a cop who decided to rob banks. Most everything else is simply either blatantly untrue at worst, or whimsical fantasy at best. The movie wants to believe Stander's defense at his first trial, that we was negatively affected by the shootings of 176 unarmed people during the 1976 Soweto uprising in South Africa. However, if the makers of this film did even the most casual fact-checking, they would have learned that Andre Stander was not present in Thembisa where and when the shootings took place.
The manner and circumstances of Stander's death depicted in this film are also grossly inaccurate. The film depicts Stander attacking police in a brazen act of suicide...'death by cop', if you will. In reality, Stander was shot in the driveway of his apartment building after arriving on a bicycle after stealing his impounded Mustang earlier trying to evade capture.
It would be nice if filmmakers started utilizing truth and reality when they craft these movies.
