The ensemble did get a bit distracting at times, however, I still really liked the story and what Daniels had to say, even though it's been said a million times before. Except this time, it's a story of the Civil Rights movement, right from the viewpoint of African Americans, and not the common white-folk.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-81550896931597432482013-08-25T23:23:57.889-05:002013-08-25T23:23:57.889-05:00I can see the inconsistence, definitely.

"No, that can't be Schriber, it has to be someone that just looks like him."

I was impressed by Whitaker and Oleyowo but yeah, I cringed in the Howard and Pettyfer's scenes, but then again both roles are despicable.ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-1979024286226247812013-08-20T15:12:26.179-05:002013-08-20T15:12:26.179-05:00I never thought Howard was that great to begin wit...I never thought Howard was that great to begin with, then I read this article and now I kind of loathe him: http://jezebel.com/287242/terrence-howard-thinks-women-are-unclean-and-dressed-like-whores<br /><br />Alex Pettyfer was in Magic Mike and I Am Number Four and he's fucking painful to watch.Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-81735257073568159242013-08-20T11:56:43.117-05:002013-08-20T11:56:43.117-05:00lol not a terrence howard fan? i actually had to l...lol not a terrence howard fan? i actually had to look up who alex was. i can't remmeber if i've seen him before this movie. moving, for sure. daniels' best i've seenCandice Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195801629178470295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-9878749344141848712013-08-20T09:36:09.632-05:002013-08-20T09:36:09.632-05:00Sometimes it's just embarrassing to be a human...Sometimes it's just embarrassing to be a human being.
