I liked the film. I think both Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker were really satisfying in their performances. The whole film wouldn't have been great without the talented actors in it. Satisfying ending too.

Insanely powerful and captivating. Denzel and Forest would be hard pressed to claim their roles are more important or riveting in any other production they have done.

This movie takes a look at a dark era of American history and shows how the experiences of a young, bright group of African-American students birth of a new generation of social justice giants.
