The film started out very strong and nicely twisted in a certain way but towards the end became a bit slow and repeative.
I loved Viola Davis in the leading role who gave literarily a very powerful performance, not only physically but also emotionally. Great and original career turn by her. Proof of not being a fantastic actress but also a true action heroine.
The rest of the cast did well, too. Thuso Mbedu gives one of the most intersting new comer performances of the year. She surely will have a nice career ahead. John Boyega also proves to develope into a fine actor. I loved the score and the general look. The action sequenzes were wonderfully choreographed and there lies a lot of depths into the film.
It surely is the Viola Davis show but there are more great outings. Not a perfect film but can easily hold itself against the typically male-driven historical epics.
