I mean the acting is pretty good, but I'm feeling like I've already " seen this movie"
There is nothing extraordinary or refreshing about it. The time period was far more complicated than this portrays, and it feels " over cooked". However, it is an updated adaption of every other movie and show regarding the time period, focusing on a singular aspect of the era. Its not family friendly or educational even, but it is relatively entertaining, which I guess is the whole point. Go ahead, make some popcorn, curl up, and prepare to be mind numbingly entertained.
FYI: there were no actual trains involved during the real"underground railroad movement" I couldn't let that one slide.
