Let me just say that I would have given it a 10 had it not been for some pacing problems.
This is not a historical account so much as a spiritual one. Spirit being what Besouro has tons of. Given what the average person looks for in a hero its easy to see why some wont get this movie. Also while history does take a backseat to the soul and legend of the story. A knowledge of history is important to the understanding of the people and the general climate amongst ex-slaves.
If you are expecting a boot-to-the-head-fest you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a film about The trials of a people and their ability to overcome this is for you.
