A friend of mine from work borrowed me this film, and, I have to say, I didn't really think much of it by the cover. I'd never heard of this man before, and when he asked me what I was going to watch first, I said the Jamie Foxx movie.
And I am so pleased I watched. I've always liked Jamie, more since I saw The Kingdom. He really is a terrific actor; his screen presence leaves you breathless. You can see why he receives award nominations. I'm actually left speechless, because of this film. The way he portrayed Mr. Williams was amazing.
I was actually tearful at one point, when you thought something was going to happen, but it didn't. I wanted to scream, no, you cannot do that, look what he is trying to achieve.
All I can say is, this is a powerful, moving, well acted, well directed film, and it deserves to be recognised a lot more.
