12 Years A Slave - Review

Based off the novel written by Solomon Northup in 1853 about being kidnapped and serving as a slave even though, he was a free man.  The story is so unbelievable and was so sad to watch, but held my interest the entire movie.  I couldn't believe how this actually happened as it's screenplay was put into a remarkable film.  The acting on all ends including the slaves and the owners were truly outstanding and some of the actors may well be nominated for some Academy Awards.  The film was very good, but there are many questions you ask yourself the entire film as you're trying to figure out how some things are all falling into place. Aside from that, you are able to follow the movie very well as it is timed very well.  The movie is a little over two hours, but the time feels like it flies by.  This was one of the best movies I have seen this year and I recommend that everyone watches this film because you will not be disappointed.  The cinematography was also very impressive as well as this film is close to flawless.  Go see this film before it starts raking in awards like crazy at the Golden Globes and Oscars.
