If you like magnificent acting, history, cinematography and let me say it again acting. This cast is made for this film like a tailored suit. The emotions you get from these performances are nothing short of amazing. It is a roller coaster ride. The writing takes you all through an historical setting and time in the Cival War that is loaded with increditable emotions and factual realism.
You will be captured from the minute the movie starts to the end. If you do not find yourself emotionally choked up at the beginning of the last sequence to the final end of the movie than I must have missed something.
I am not one who believes in giving the story away but I can say Denzel Washington' s protrayal and execution of character growth within the setting of this movie, of his part, is nothing short of brilliant.
It is one of the greatest assemble cast work I have seen, I could not notice one actor who stole from the assemble.
Rent it, watch it and I will give you odds it will be in your collection if you do collect within no time.
What's great about it: Great cast and storyline.
What's not so great: nothing, nothing, and nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
