Amazing Grace —
Usually a movie about history messes up because they get it wrong and when they get it right it is boring. This movie did not mess up. It is spot on with the history and it is any thing but boring. The casting is superb and the acting is awesome. The movie moves at a good clip and has a little bit of erverything in it. The mix of morals vx evil was good. If you like history and love politics you must see this movie.
