Jamal’s brother Jatemme (Daniel Kaluuya), a murderous psychopath who tracks down information with an eerie coolness that borders on pure movie monster.
In one prolonged sequence, he stares down an insubordinate member of the criminal gang and forces him to freestyle as McQueen’s camera swirls around the pair, before Jatemme shoots the man in the head.
Kaluuya barely moves his eyebrows. He moves through scenes with a terminator-like efficiency, calmly extracting information from his victims as they scream and bleed.
It’s a world away from “Get Out,” and further proof that this major screen talent is just getting started.

Daniel Kaluuya, very scary

Kaluuya is absolutely brilliant, and any hesitation that he could be typecast after "Get Out," are thrown out of the window with a frightening performance that feels commanding and expertly delivered.

a standout Daniel Kaluuya brings toxic menace to every scene he’s in, as a man hot on their heels, simmering with violence
Kaluuya brings to life one of the most terrifying villains in recent memory in a full 180 from his Oscar-nominated Get Out performance

Kaluuya is mesmerizing, with his insistent physicality and the sinister purr of voice. He’s got a great, malleable face too, capable of wide-eyed alarm, as in Get Out, and the hood-lidded, bored-with-your-human-mortality menace he does here. He’s the movie’s cool and idiosyncratic articulation, its grimness flecked with a wicked glint.
violent, creepy brother Jatemme (Daniel Kaluuya, doing so much with so little – he lets his scary silent glances do a lot of the heavy lifting).

The distinguishing, and perhaps unsurprising element - given McQueen’s strong characterisation in the past – is that each of the film’s many characters comes fully-formed. Certainly, the women all have their stories, but so do the men – Farrell and Neeson are anchored in their swamps. Kaluuya, however – he’s just mad, bad and extremely dangerous to know
