Top-Flight Performances Dominate the Action

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 2000)

"Glory" was arguably the best film produced in 1989 and the primary reason is because of the amazing performances. Denzel Washington (Oscar-winning), Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, and Cary Elwes are all impressive, as is the entire cast. The film deals with African-American soldiers who fought valiantly for the Union during our country's Civil War. Not perfect, but very close. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
