First, the positives. It was a very well told story of his time trying to abolish the slave trade. The sets were top notch and the costumes couldn't have been better. You were definitely taken back to that era and didn't feel you were watching a film. The performances were amazing, especially by Daniel Day-Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones. You definitely were guaranteed great acting whenever they appeared on screen.
Now for the negatives. The flow of the story did not suck me in me enough to fall in love with it. It was very well detailed, but with the plot was hard to make it entertaining.
You have to give it credit though, as they told the story very well and in great detail. But it is just not entertaining enough to watch it again and again.
Definitely not one for younger viewers, unless you like politics or love American history. I would still recommend it, but only for the one viewing.
Rating: 8/10
