It’s Chadwick Boseman’s last performance and the life he brings to the role of ambitious trumpet player Levee acts as a poignant reminder of a career cut tragically short.

actually intoxicated, Mikkelsen and his three co-stars spent time stumbling around and destroying the inside of a supermarket while filming—what he called a "terrible day" for some behind the scenes. "Once you kind of wind each other up, and we get more and more inspired by crazy stuff, we start behaving like little children and theres no way they can control us." he says, reflecting on the four men "drunkenly" stumbling through a grocery store.
