Don’t let it’s modest appearance fool you. Sway is as deadly as they come. Go to Full Review Courtney Small Cinema Axis Feb 6, 2026
A film oozing with potential, it is unfortunate that Sway falls into some of the same pitfalls as its titular character when it comes to spinning a tale that spirals out of control. Go to Full Review Thom Ernst Original Cin Feb 5, 2026

Sway wants to be a noir where words replace weapons, and that ambition mostly pays off. Tension comes less from actions than dialogue. It's a smart, contained thriller with a social edge, even if it doesn’t always hit every note as sharply as it aims to. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

getty I @RT38816867 Oct 17, 2026 If this is what racial progress in film looks like, you can f...... keep it! A purportedly black male community leader, who is married to a white woman, is set up because he fucked a white woman. Historically, Black women were allowed to star opposite their men, but not today. No, this BS liberal social "progress" has led to traditional Black female positions being reserved exclusively for white women, mixed race women, any ethnic group but Black women. Yet, white men are always cast beside white women because the goal is to continue to attack and undermine the Black family. See more Read all reviews
