*Minor spoiler, mentioned by most other reviewers*
I agree that the acting is all over the place; it was a great idea, that was too weighty to be executed through this particular writing, casting and direction.
My only caveat is that, speaking from personal experience, it's often the more covert forms of racism and classism that are the straws on the camel's back. One can laugh at buffoons yelling epithets directly, and one can challenge hoods in white hoods. Societal snubbing is more insidiously toxic/cancerous, and harder to dismiss. Plus, seeing other humans relegated to this version of The Bottoms, humiliation added upon humiliation, seeing others not fighting the corruption and degradation, realizing you were paid to kill someone who didn't "need" killing...it could be that type of pressure cooker.
