| User ReviewSarah FNot the greatest movie, but Freeman is excellent in it. |
| User ReviewJonathan PRather slow and a bit biased (at least from other accounts I have read) in showing Malcolm as a peaceful man. Freeman is of course Freeman and so he does well but the truth is the movie is a very cheaply made one and it is so slow that even at only 60 min. it seemes 30 min. to long. |
| User ReviewBlind PA poor quality film that looks at the last days of Malcom X, as played by Morgan Freeman. While there are some points of dialogue to be considered, it plays like a student film and so lacks the type of intensity to make its message emotionally resonant. |
