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.
