Must -See!

Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2013)

Samuel Jackson is well-known for roles that elevate African-Americans above whites, which is why I was surprised to see him play the role of the Uncle Tom in this movie. Between Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz, the dialog is sharp, witty, and at times humorous. To be sure, this movie is not a "white-bashing" fest, rather it differentiates between the decent white man and the slave owner. It is satisfying to see what many black folk would have loved to see happen during the days of slavery, as those responsible for the cruelty inflicted upon the slaves are held responsible by paying the ultimate price for their crimes. The music can be a bit annoying from time to time, but it seems to serve a purpose as it's reminiscent of the blaxploitation films of the 1970s. Leonardo DiCaprio has indeed grown up and has come a long ways since the days of "Titanic." I wholeheartedly recommend this movie to anyone who lives to see justice doled out the way it was before current laws protected the criminals. I normally don't care for Quentin Tarantino films as they seem a bit odd and beyond full understanding, but this movie is an exception. Well done! I cannot imagine how he could possibly follow this up with a sequel, but one can only hope that he outshines this one if he does.
