A fast-pace, intense movie about the first colored regiment to fight in the civil war.

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2017)

This movie was much better than I thought it was going to be. I am not very much into history, but the movie kept my attention the whole time. It was very easy to follow, but was very emotional. You get very attached to the characters and it feels like you're really there. One thing I did not like very much was how drawn out some of the battle scenes were. It was very hard to see all the death and how the African-American soldiers were treated during those times; so I would not recommend for younger audiences. It was very uplifting to see the bridge formed between the some of the officers and soldiers. I enjoyed most of the actors and thought Morgan Freeman portrayed his character quite well. All in all, I believe this was a well made film and is not one we should forget.
