Release Date: December 2, 2022 (USA) | Length: 132 min | Genre: Action, Thriller | MPAA Rating: Rated R for strong racial violence, disturbing images and language. | Note(s): Original announcement. Antoine Fuqua and Will Smith are producers on this project. After the “Smithening” at the 2022 Academy Awards, the release date was pushed to 2023. The release date has since been moved back to 2022. December 2 is the theatrical release date. The film appears on Apple+ on December 9, 2022. There are a lot of people in this film playing generic roles, who I was not able to identify.
