Boring and doesn't offer anything new.

Rating: 5/10 (29 January 2018)

Boring, melodramatic, slow, and way too long. Some parts of this felt like splitting hairs, I swear.
The characters were very bland, and because of this, I found myself not caring for most of them. The redeeming quality in terms of acting was definitely Blige. She was easily the best part of this. This really didn't offer anything new. It did have its moments, but honestly not that many. Even then, these few parts I feel like I had already seen in similar movies.
Also, the visual design made it feel more like a Civil war 1800s era instead of the mid 1940s. Wasn't convinced.
