The characters are well developed. Haven't seen a plot like this with such great twists and turns. I appreciate the storyline. It's difficult to tell a story during such a critical time in our history while staying true to the narrative. This movie did a great job of not jumping too far into grittiness of our history. Certain elements kept me guessing which I loved. As much as I tried to guess what would happen next, I was always pleasantly surprised. I recognized the leading actress the girl from Everybody Hates Chris. It was refreshing to see her in a role that was completely out of her element. Great range.
