Not Spielberg's best effort, but it does succeed where he often goes wrong, and overall it is compelling, well-acted, and quite good.

I love this movie!!!!
I love this movie! I love movies like this about freedom. The beginning is violent. Also the slaves are nude but its not in a sexual way. I don't know what cursing is in it. But its a must see for anyone who likes historical movies.

Great movie, 15 and up.
A great movie that realisticly shows the brutality used agaisnt africans in the 1800's. i doubt many younger kids would be interseted in watching and if they do theres just a few scenes of intense violence and nudity thats shown in a non-sexual way. all in all it's a fantastic film that everyone should see.

Good movie overall.
This is simply a good movie. I can't think of any other words to describe it. Watch out for the violence however. Viewers will appreciate however, that the film is only violent/gory when it needs to be, not to simply for sensation. It tells a true story, good historical account, and is very educational. Good for a history class movie ages 15+

YOU GOTTA SEE THIS FILM!
It is a massive film, cool, straight forward and rude - great for a history lesson. I think this film is suitable for anyone that is not too scared at the violence - it was pretty horrific at parts. Sad ending as well, but hey, it was real life. It makes you think about the awful contitions slaves had to put up with.

this is an amazing movie ... it had so much emotion attached to it, happy, VERYY sad at imes, and even mad at the people to hte point where you wish you could just jump in and beat them haha. i learned alot from this movie, and no one should have to go through anything close to what they went through. all i have to say is get your butts out there and watch it i dont think you'll be disappointed.
