I saw The Woman King, starring Viola Davis-the DC super hero movies & tv shows, Ender's Game; Thuso Mbdeu-The Underground Railroad_tv, Scandal!_tv; Lashana Lynch-No Time To Die, Captain Marvel and John Boyega-Breaking, the Star Wars movies.
This movie is inspired by true events and takes place in the 1800's in Africa. The Agojie were the King of Dahomey's elite, all female warriors/guards. John plays the King of Dahomey and Viola is the general in charge of the Agojie. The African tribes would raid other tribes for men, women and children to trade them for goods from the Europeans, who would then take their slaves away in ships. Viola tells John that she has had enough of the slave trading and wants to stop using the people and instead, trade in other goods. Lashana is a fellow Agojie and Thuso is one of the new recruits. The Agojie's training and tests are shown and after they graduate, you can see why they had the reputation of being so fierce in battle and could put a whooping on most men they encountered. There is a short scene just after the end credits start but nothing at the very end.
It's rated PG-13 for violence, language and sexual content-including partial nudity-and has a running time of 2 hours & 15 minutes.
I thought it was interesting and I would buy it on DVD.
