I really enjoyed this movie. It did seem rather long but most of the film was well worth it. It takes a hard look at racism and brings up some uncomfortable topics that provide food for thought.

the movie was alright...even though it had a great cast...the ending was outstanding, the best part of the movie was the last 30 minutes...everything else was mediocore at best.

This whole movie inspired me. In listening to the debates and the dialogue, it's hard to keep from being at least a bit introspective. I thoroughly enjoyed this film

Loved it. Denzel, of course was great, but the story was wonderful-it should be told in schools.
