Amistad (1997)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 155m
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Anthony Hopkins, Morgan Freeman, Djimon Hounsou

Synopsis:

African slaves mutiny aboard ship and land in the United States as free foreign citizens: such is the argument employed by an abolitionist lawyer, whose case winds up in the Supreme Court.

Review:

The director relishes the opportunity to dramatise more of man's inhumanity to man in this anti-slavery tract, in which the negro cast members do rather better than the be-whiskered white speechmakers. In short, it runs out of dramatic puff long before the climactic blasting of the slavers' fort is engineered to send us home feeling vindicated.
