Release Date: October 16, 2020 (USA) | Length: 129 min | Genre: Drama, History, Thriller | MPAA Rating: Rated R for language throughout, some violence, bloody images and drug use.

Note: Jonathan Majors was in the original cast list, but is not currently. I am assuming that he was replaced by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, but the Variety article doesn’t mention why.
