Damn You Hollywood: By Any Means (2026)

Tonight on Damn You Hollywood, we are reviewing By Any Means. Directed by Elegance Bratton and starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Mark Wahlberg, Giancarlo Esposito, Nicole Beharie, Josh Lucas, and David Strathairn, the film takes us to 1966 Mississippi, where a Black FBI agent is assigned to investigate the murder of civil-rights leader Vernon Dahmer. When conventional methods fail, the Bureau turns to Gregory Scarpa, a real-life Mafia killer and FBI informant, creating an uneasy partnership built around one very uncomfortable question: what happens when the law decides the law is no longer enough? We’ll discuss the performances, the historical liberties, the film’s treatment of institutional failure, racial violence, vigilantism, and whether a righteous goal can excuse morally compromised methods. Join us as we break down By Any Means and decide whether this historical crime thriller earns its title.
