Is this film not getting a wide-release? I've been waiting for it to hit theaters here, but haven't seen anything yet. It's strange for a film that is already so well received. Are they going the route of Slum Dog Millionaire that was limited-release until after it won some awards then opened up afterwards?

Im with Chuk here. The white guilt stuff and the black slavery chip on shoulder is only holding us all back. No one alive in America today has held slaves or been a slave. I dont need to pay for the sins of people who were long dead before I was even born and have had zero relation to me.
There are indeed some pretty gnarly whipping/hanging scenes. I thought it was a decent flick though. They did a good job of telling a pretty crazy story in a dramatic way. Good acting all around, but yeah there were a ton of cameos which kind of take you out of the immersion somewhat.
LOL I said the same thing about Omar"Awesome! Omar Little is in this movie...oh wait ... nevermind"
edit: that hanging scene was hard to watch
