A True American is one of those films that doesn’t get enough chatter among collectors. The story takes you on a wild ride with Leroy Jones, a black CIA operative turned analyst who's grappling with the weight of a cover-up that reaches back into darker times. The pacing feels almost frenetic at times, bouncing between flashbacks and present-day events, which adds a unique tension. Themes of loyalty and the moral complexities of government operations sit front and center. And while the performances have their ups and downs, Dwight Martin brings a certain gravitas to the role. Plus, the practical effects during action sequences have a gritty realism that captures the era’s filmmaking charm. It’s definitely a movie that resonates on various levels.
