This was quite a bit better than I imagined it was going to be. I had thought for a couple of months that I would not bother to see it, as it appeared to me to be going to be a film that would hardly be entertaining.
Based on a true story (and isn't just about every film nominated for Academy Awards this year?!?) of a free black man who was kidnapped and forced into slavery. Chiwetel Ejiofor was quite brilliant in the lead role, he would be my favourite for Best Actor at the moment. Other great performances from Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Fassbender and Sarah Paulson. Not the kind of film you will watch over and over, but one that everyone should probably experience.
7.5/10
