Amistad - DVD submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on July 28, 2017, 2:08pm An interesting movie, telling one story about the huge historical issue that is the slave trade. Djimon Hounsou is particularly fantastic.

Amistad submitted by SBNB on June 24, 2019, 7:59pm This was a good movie. I enjoyed it when I watched it, but I only remember one detail from it now years later.

Amistad submitted by lstorc on August 30, 2019, 9:26am Amistad is exceptionally well done. It is depressing due to this.
