Blindspotting

Blindspotting (2018) is Carlos López Estrada's crime drama laced with comedy, ready to watch online on iFILM. Oakland mover Collin has three days of probation left when one red-light moment threatens to undo everything.

Collin (Daveed Diggs) just wants to run out the clock and start clean. The problem is Miles (Rafael Casal), his white childhood best friend — loud, reckless, a gun in the glovebox and a gift for picking fights. One night Collin watches a cop chase down and shoot an unarmed Black man. Staying quiet eats at him; speaking up could send him straight back inside. All the while their neighborhood is being bought up and made over, the old Oakland vanishing block by block.

Diggs and Casal, friends offscreen, spent nine years writing the script and play the leads themselves; characters slip into rhymed verse not as a gimmick but to let the street talk in its own rhythm. The film premiered at Sundance and landed on dozens of year-end lists. Sharp, funny, and serious about race, friendship, and how you're read before you say a word.
