John Newton is captain of a slave ship moored off the coast of Nigeria. He stands at a crossroads in his life, his morality and religion at odds with the brutality of his chosen profession. Stepping ashore, he starts on a journey of redemption that will end in tragedy but prove the catalyst for greater achievements. A local anthem sung in adversity by the slaves he captures punctuates the film. It will be the inspiration for John Newton's redemption, and, years later, for his writing of the world's most enduring hymn, Amazing Grace.

| User ReviewJoshua QThis was an excellent movie. I would recommend it to anyone! |
| User ReviewGuillermo Ypretty good movie, but it felt kinda long to me... but definately worth watching |
| User ReviewJonathan SIt was pretty interesting to actually find out how the hymn Amazing Grace was actually written. |
| User ReviewKeegan Ttrue story love the way it showed power of praise and prayer but not the end |
| User ReviewKenny KWell intentioned but amateurish attempt to move the viewer, while failing to recognize that the subject matter (a man's conversion from slaver to emancipator) itself is plenty dramatic -- just tell the story, straight, no chaser! The acting is wooden, the camera set-ups are uninspired and TV-like, and the costume and set design fairly shout "Student film!" Everything is too clean, the native women wear modest tops in an ecuatorial climate, and everyone looks like they just stepped out of the make-up trailer in Burbank. And the notion that the song "Amazing Grace" itself is a cribbing of an African melody is a flat falsehood. The instantly recognizable melody is from the 1835 song, "New Britain," though the lyrics predated it by over 50 years. The way the filmmakers attempt to connect the melody to African folk music is cynical and manipulative. A great story always moves the audience. Newton's real story is far more compelling than the one told in this film. It has all the required elements of a great motion picture, but the filmmakers -- obviously spiritual amateurs themselves -- did not understand or trust the Spirit when they made this film. If they were sincere, five stars for trying. If not, zero. But the film itself? Two stars for a botched effort with no excuse available in the source material. |
