User Reviews

Outstanding!

This was an awesome movie that actually made you feel as if you were part of the plot, and kept the audience reminded of the fact that good & evil deeds depends on whom you are pulling for. I rank it right up there with some of the blockbuster hits out of Hollywood with much heavier payrolls and budgets than that of Hamilton. This is absolutely one of the better movies in its genre.
