Saved by Jackson

Rating: 7/10 (12 August 2017)

Good but not great. The issue I have with this film is Jamie Fox. The man is a one note actor. He is one of those actors who has such a limited range and it ultimately ends hurting whatever film he is in. Hollywood needs to figure this out. Fox is the reason I didn't see this movie in theaters. Anyway, the film is about a former slave with a gun who goes undercover as a whatever in order to save his wife from slavery. The film drags on until the halfway mark, until we finally get to meet Samuel L. Jackson's character, who almost single handedly (with some help from Leo) saves the film from becoming a snoozefest.
