Emancipation - Anmeldelser

...er voldsom, spændende og ganske smukt fotograferet i sort-hvid...

...på lærredet giver [Will Smith] værdighed som få og sætter med sin særlige starpower stort set ikke en fod forkert i hovedrollen som den haitisk-amerikanske slave Peter.

In both his face and physicality, Smith convinces as a man who could survive extreme hardship and sustain a sense of self.

...a good watch which might help the lead actor in regaining his image.

...if you like your Civil War films light on historicity but awash in alligator knife fights, then Emancipation is the movie for you.

...Will Smith brings a movie-star presence to this brutally violent civil war drama, with a physical stillness and defiantly steady gaze.

Director Antoine Fuqua tilts true history into a brutal, broad-strokes action thriller elevated by his central star's performance.

...back to Smith. He carries the narrative like a practiced star...

Will Smith gives a harrowing performance.
