Starring Michael B. Jordan, Kevin Durand, Chad Michael Murray, Melonie Diaz, Ahna O’Reilly, and Octavia Spencer, the film is one of the best first features by a director and the pair look back at cultural importance of the film while also seeing how the movie still packs a huge impact 10 years later.
