Supremacy rests on a premise that makes for high drama and surprise, though it’s not always executed. It’s the stuff of nightmarish fiction but the nonfiction source material adds a level of depth to its commentary on racism and race...

Feeding over-the-top language to underdeveloped characters, Deon Taylor's "Supremacy" dramatizes racism with an unvarying intensity that quickly becomes wearing.

The film plays out almost like a conventional Hollywood hostage thriller but for the incendiary, racially charged subtext.

Director Deon Taylor explores the dividing lines of race, family and the hate that fuels those lines, with an intensity that at times is almost overwhelming with explosive emotion...Powerful. Emotionally charged. Riveting. Masterful.
