Tommy Lee Jones and Jamie Foxx are on top form in a rabble-rousing drama tackling racial inequality in US ‘death care’

courtroom drama nit-picking over the small print of a funeral home’s legal agreements:probably has no right to be as crisply funny and boisterously entertaining as it is. Loosely based on a true story, this rabble-rousing examination of the racism hard-wired into America’s multibillion dollar “death care” industry is driven by the friendship of two men, one Black, one white.

But this impressive second feature from Maggie Betts is about to lose his funeral business to a ruthless multinational. Litigation specialist Willie E Gary knows nothing about contract law, but agrees to act as Jeremiah’s attorney anyway. The bond between Willie and Jeremiah is built on shared values – family, fairness, basic decency – and a fondness for the music of early 90s R&B outfit Tony! Toni! Toné!. A rousing good time of a movie.
