well made!

Rating: 9/10 (19 September 1999)

This is a very well made movie. The flaws are easy counted. Hopkins, Freeman, Skarsgård and the lawyer(don't remember his name) and off course the actor playing Cinque(don't know his name either) are all doing a very fine performance.
There is only one thing in the movie I didn't like, and that is the statement that it was the slave question that started the American-civil-war. It wasn't. As a matter of fact, even Robert E. Lee (military commander for the "rebels") was against slavery and had freed his own, long before the war. The reason of the civil war has more combined with industrial development than with slaves.
Hurray to Speilberg for managing to produce yet an other splendid movie.
9/10
