I came into the movies a little skeptical knowing the relationship between the auteur and the main protagonist.
I was however surprised to discover this biopic to be more of a love letter to a country that, against all odds, managed to be liberated from a dire string of bloody civil wars and despotic leadership. It touches on powerful emotive themes and never comes off as "propaganda".
The acting is above average across the board, the action is decent, and all in all the Director/production team punches above their weight considering the budget constraints for feature films in Africa.
27 Guns was certainly well worth watching - and no doubt a story worth telling! I am glad it was brought to life in the right hands!
