6 Indie Alternatives in Theaters This July3 of 6
Blindspotting | Premieres in U.S. theaters Friday, July 20
Set in Oakland, Calif., the film centers on Collin (Daveed Diggs), who is just a few days away from completing his probation after spending a short time in prison. He works at a moving company with fast-talking best friend Miles (Rafael Casal), but Collin's life is shattered when he witnesses the shooting of an unarmed black man by a white police officer. When this opened the Sundance Film Festival in January, it was branded a "thrilling snapshot" of modern-day America, with Diggs praised for an "impassioned, tortured performance." It certainly proved a wicked alternative to the usual buddy comedy. — Michael
