Now here we go again with the crab in the bucket syndrome. This time actor Harry Lennix, who you may remember from the Matrix films and most recently Man of steel, said the filmmaker took Allen's story and "ni**erfies" it and basically turned it into "historical porn".
Those are strong words for a film that is getting rave reveiws. He goes on to say "“I read five pages of this thing and could not go any further. I tried to read more of it, and I’m not a soft spoken guy, but it was such an appalling mis-direction of history in terms of taking an actual guy who worked at the White House,” said Lennix in a July interview with Shadow and Act. But then he “ni**erfies” it.

I refused.”
