After Queen of Katwe I wanted more, this looks just as touching. Someone was saying Pawn Sacrifice was a much better movie, it was so boring. - @Friday, March 3, 2017 5:12 AM

Black Men are Kings, white men are intimidated by you. Stay strong Kings! - @Friday, January 29, 2016 7:34 AM

This movie really touched home. I stay in DC, and alot of the kids here need guidance. Kids killing each other, fighting everyday, mothers strung out on drugs, father nowhere around, the list goes on and on. This movie shows that despite your odds, you HAVE to keep pushing and stay focus. Schools in rough areas should play this for the young people. I know how it is to struggle and go without but you WILL make it. Dont give up and lose hope. - @Friday, January 29, 2016 7:20 AM

Good to see the 'token' white guy for once! Sick of black talent being called politically correct among the closet racist community. Talent is talent and with a majority dark skinned cast, there's no politically correct performance. 5 stars - @Friday, August 14, 2015 12:45 PM
