Action Biography Drama History War

6.9 / 10

Set during the Civil War, Free State of Jones tells the story of defiant Southern farmer, Newt Knight, and his extraordinary armed rebellion against the Confederacy. Banding together with other small farmers and local slaves, Knight launched an uprising that led Jones County, Mississippi to secede from the Confederacy, creating a Free State of Jones. Knight continued his struggle into Reconstruction, distinguishing him as a compelling, if controversial, figure of defiance long beyond the War.

This could have been a much better movie but they tried too hard with all the flashback/subplot stuff. The story stands on its own. They didn't need to mess it up with all that. - @Wednesday, October 17, 2018 7:56 PM

Just saw this on Netflix, it had such horrible ratings from critics, but positive ratings from audience. I look back at the critics ratings and realized that they didn’t want the public to see this movie because it exposes history. - @Monday, October 15, 2018 4:50 AM

I wish someone would edit together all the scenes of him either shooting/stabbing/eating dogs, to make it seem as though the film is about one man and his unquenchable thirst for doggie destruction. - @Wednesday, August 22, 2018 9:27 PM

Jones character is that of a idealist Robin Hood rebel against his own Confederate reds when the opposing US Union army is winning the civil War. America is a rich fat nation today but does it remember its forefathers who sacrificed so much to make it rich? - @Wednesday, August 1, 2018 9:00 PM

One of the best movies ever!!!! It's a shame it didn't do well at the box office because it is really good. We're still fighting similar battles now. Poor people are still being manipulated by the rich... that's why you got people voting for Donald Trump even though he does nothing to help them. - @Thursday, February 8, 2018 7:18 AM

I dont really think many trailers give pretty much the whole film in the trailer, but this one I feel like it did. They should have not showed the ambush thing at the church. Might still want the movie though. - @Monday, December 18, 2017 10:22 PM

Marduk son of Ea

can somebody please help me? When the election results came (after Newton and all the black people voted) it showed that 519 were won by Democrats and 2 by Republicans. I did not understand the results, 519 votes or it's the number of candidates they are talking about? (with the possibility that it was rigged if they are talking about votes?) That's the confusion i have. - @Thursday, August 10, 2017 10:44 AM
