Amazing Grace (2006)



Synopsis

Title: Amazing Grace
Genre: Inspirational Drama
Rating: PG
Running Time: 118 Minutes
Director: Michael Apted
Main Actors: Ioan Gruffudd, Romola Garai, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ciaran Hinds, Rufus Sewell
Plot: The story about one man's long time battle against slavery in 18th century United Kingdom.

My Take

As a general rule of thumb, I am a big fan of inspirational dramas. Amazing Grace did not disappoint. You will not see big name actors or a big name director, but that might be part of what makes this movie so good. It leaves the impression of something different and something better. Hey, that sounds a lot like an Arby's slogan. The movie sends a message of faith and I would recommend it to anyone of all ages.

Should You Watch???

Watch it if you have a dvd player, because it will be well worth your time. This movie is very comparable to Amistad, which is another movie about the abolition of slave trade. As much as I liked Amistad, I would put Amazing Grace one notch above. Put this movie near the top of your watch list and enjoy.
