The Great Debaters

Basically I could have watched paint dry after Atonement and given it a good review, but fortunately I found myself in Theatre 17 about to watch The Great Debaters, 7:45 PM. This historical drama is about the struggles of a young debate team in segregated Texas.

Denzel Washington stars in and directs this predictable yet highly entertaining movie. All of the characters are so well acted and despite knowing the outcome you are completely drawn into the film and believe it or not through out the movie there were “cheerers” in our audience. Very well done.

*** ½ Must See

Rated PG-13 (for violence, language, and disturbing images)
