Very hard to watch but well crafted and must be seen by everyone

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2013)

This movie has a very good balance of being a great movie that keeps you hooked and a film showing you the horrors of slavery in explicit detail. This movie throws in some excellent performances like our main star Chiwetel Ejiofor and a brilliantly horrifying performance from Michael Fassbender. This movie must have been a great challenge because many great films have been made about this subject,to be remembered this movie had to be truly mesmerizing which it is. Like I mentioned earlier this movie is not a two hour gore fest that sends messages down your throat, we get to know the characters first and when bad things happen to them we are even more horrified. A lot of talent is shown in this movie and in my opinion it ranks up there with some of the best racial movies. Overall this is a very good film that will be remembered for a very long time and must be seen by everyone.
