Not what I expected, but still good

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2020)

Good plot which had me intrigued during the whole movie even though It ran a bit too long for what I prefer. I was expecting the movie to show more of what the slaves went through and how they suffered, similar to 12 Years a Slave. I thought the characters were portrayed very well in the movie, however I thought Jamie Foxx's character was a bit too cocky at times and that didn't feel realistic considering the time that the movie is set in. The action scenes were over the top, which I liked as it made the movie a bit more interesting.
