Yes, Burt Reynolds is gone. May he rest in peace. Yes, that movie could have been a lot better.
What I'm focusing on is the main idea of the movie-that a little boy (who is also a black boy, by the way), wanted to become a police officer. In an era where cops are often mocked and ridiculed and defunded and straitjacketed and vilified, seeing a little boy want to be a cop gives me hope for the future.
