Would give it 110 if I could. Brilliant. Powerful. Amazing. Heart-wrenching. More people need to see this film than have seen this film. https://esperwatchesfilms.tumblr.com/post/643080341040627712/amistad-1997

A remarkable story well-told. It is well-framed, starting in medias res not for the purpose of grabbing our attention, but for the purpose of distancing the audience from our hero, Cinque. Later, when the background is given, it reframes the story. It is a powerful shift.

Overlong drama has enough powerful moments (and terrific performances) to be worthwhile, even if its most engaging elements (the depiction of the mutiny itself and Hopkins' towering work as Adams) are given fairly short shrift. Odd structuring of the courtroom plot (resulting in an initial false exoneration) makes Adams' final summation feel like a deus ex machina rather than an integral part of the drama, and a too-wide array of characters makes the film lose focus at several key points.
