A great film, based on a true story, centered around a man tricked into Slavery during those times in USA.

Chiwetel Ejiofor plays the protagonist who is a free black man but is tricked into slavery. His acting was just Amazing. There are lots of great actors in this movie like Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt and Michael Fassbender, each given a certain amount of screen time and role and each gave a great performance, especially Fassbender, his role as an evil master was brilliant, I can smell Best supporting Oscar Nod for him.

The movie really makes you feel how precious freedom is. The situation of slaves, their livelihood, their condition is very well portrayed. The movie can get very brutal and unforgiving at times.

The cinematography was great. The soundtrack was great too, ranging from great emotional pieces too twisted dark themes.

Definitely a must watch but not for the light hearted who can't stand brutality and stuff.

8.4/10
