It looks like Ioan Gruffudd is definitely type-cast for 19th century English authority figures (re: Horacio Hornblower series). Great story and beautiful production. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Albert Finney gives one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen on screne. They have set the bar high. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

This isn't a "politically correct" topic. This movie is history. Slavery is still going on today and it is as wrong today as it was then. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreIt was poorly directed. The images were confusing and non-sequential. The actions of the characters were unmotivated and at times melodramatic. The dialogue was a desperate attempt at profundity, but it usually came across as amateur and cliché. The makers of this movie cared more about what they were trying to say instead of making the audience relate to the characters saying it. Thus, it completely failed at convincing us of its message, which was that all mankind should be seen as equal and not as possessions or mere instruments of production. Yet, that is all the historical characters in this movie became were instruments of production as opposed to tangable human beings. The film is a powerhouse of excellent actors whose brilliant performances, amid all of its shortcomings, barely made the film tolerable. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
