Then, one fateful day, his good life and all his dreams came to a crashing halt. Solomon Northup was kidnapped and carried off into slavery to serve on plantations in the South. For twelve long years he experienced the cruelty and subjugation that was slavery. Under most circumstances, this would be a story worth telling. Under these circumstances, it is a story that needs to be told. For the story of Solomon Northup is a true story.

Even if I hadn't read the book first, this is one of the worst adaptations from a book I've ever seen. They all spoke like colonial robots. They were in Louisiana for cripes sake. I cannot believe Brad Pitt would put his name on this travesty let alone any actor or director with any reputation.

I loved it better than themovie they brung out 12 years a slave a must see

It was a great movie especially when coupled with 12 years a slave.
