Simply spectacular movie with every single cast member

Simply spectacular movie with every single cast member worthy of an Oscar. Be it Denzel Washington to Forest Whitaker to the entire debating team of fine young actors. Each is worthy of an Academy Award nomination. The Movie was well directed by Denzel. This period piece set in the 1930's had great costume and set designs that were done very very well. I would expect great things from this movie for all of the new young people and another notch in his belt for Denzel and more appreciation for Forest Whitaker. Highly Recommended

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

It is passable but the plot and the

It is passable but the plot and the political messaging can be telegraphed from a mile off. Watching two hours of self righteousness glossed over with touches of melodrama to create an obvious narrative arc is a bit tedious. The emotional impact is underwhelming because the violin strings in the background music are out of kilter with the actual lightweight punch the proselytising delivers. It looks for knockout moments and just delivers obvious light jabs. Watched on DVD.
