Steal This Movie is an intriguing look at Abbie Hoffman's life post-Yippie days. It dives deep into the paranoia and chaos of the late '60s and early '70s, as Hoffman grapples with the FBI’s relentless pursuit. The pacing feels a bit uneven, but it serves the narrative – portraying the tension of a man on the run, constantly looking over his shoulder. The atmosphere has this gritty documentary-like feel, which is kind of fitting given the subject matter. Performances feel raw, especially the lead, capturing Hoffman’s manic energy and wit. It’s distinctive for how it mixes history with personal struggle, giving a voice to the underground resistance that was often silenced. A real gem for those interested in political cinema.
