Just not up to trekking to SF for this, even though I really do want to see it and it would make for an easy KFM review. Been writing too much lately. Need a break.
Enjoyed it. It began as a coming of age warrior tale and developed into a tour de force for Viola Davis. There’s political intrigue, sisterhood, ptsd, violation, trauma, heartbreak, slavery issues and redemption… plus swordfights! Well paced with some decent fight choreo (although I liked the dance numbers better - a few are almost Bollywood level). John Boyega does his best Denzel for the king. The other warriors are good - Lashanna Lynch (no relation, right?) & Sheila Atim were standout. Lots of machete like swords, spears, flintlocks, and even a rope dart. I found myself more into it as the story progressed.
D00M recommended.
