You wo n’t rue pressing play !

Prime Video has a new hit movie on their hands, and it’s a courtroom drama/comedy calledThe Burial.

The Burialshines a light on real-life attorneyWillie E. Gary, the friendship he built with his client Jeremiah O’Keefe after taking on his multimillion dollar lawsuit, as well as the community Willie passionately served along the way.

The film surrounds a handshake deal that goes horribly wrong between Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones), a small funeral company owner, and Raymond Loewen (Bill Camp), a funeral home giant. To save his family business, Jeremiah enlists a high-profile, smooth-talking lawyer named Willie E. Gary (Jamie Foxx).

But when Raymond finds out Jeremiah hired Willie — an attorney popular within the Black community, who’s also never lost a case — he ensures his team is backed by someone whose reputation also precedes themselves: Mame Downes (Jurnee Smollett).

Watching Jamie and Jurnee go head-to-head was exhilarating! Jamie has always been one to truly embody the characters he’s portraying onscreen, while Jurnee has continued to prove herself to be a powerhouse performer ever since she starred inEve’s Bayou.

And to round out the phenomenal cast, the movie also starsElemental’sMamoudou Athieas Hal Dockins — a novice attorney who encourages Willie to take the case — andSuccession’sAlan Ruck, who plays Jeremiah’s longtime friend and personal attorney.

From learning about the characters' background stories to witnessing the various bonds created throughout the film,The Burialwill keep you entertained from beginning to end. You’ll laugh, yell at your TV, and, hell, you might even shed a tear or two.

But don’t just take my word for it! Here’s what people — including myself — are saying about it on Twitter:

I really be intimate this movie . It felt like it had the desoxyribonucleic acid of the great mid tier up movies that got made ages ago that do n’t get made any longer . Jamie was at the top of his game and Director and conscientious objector - author Maggie Betts killed it.#TheBurialnow pelt on@PrimeVideo.pic.twitter.com/0swz6dApDr

TheBurialhad one major affair expire against it for me : being a courtroom drama . I ’m pleasantly surprised to say that Margaret Betts ’ firm direction of the underdog narration ended up compellingly executing this chronicle . I was intrigue and entertained from beginning to end.pic.twitter.com/V4DUVZCntY

Maggie Betts successfully made it face & made us feel like It was never about the contract or settlement .
