This movie desperately tries to follow in the footsteps of masterpieces depicting the struggles of slaves in search of freedom. However, the problem is that it delivers very little.

The movie definitely has its moment, especially in the beginning, but quickly descendant into a pit of hastily made scenes that offer no depth. We se Harriet evolve from a beaten up, abused slave into a strong gun-slinging escaping woman in literally seconds, and she reaches her destination, comes back for more slaves and more as if it's a very easy feat to accomplish.

Furthermore, in a desperate attempt to add depth, they lazily rig the movie with an abundance of clichés that end up making laughable.

I give it 3 because of the reasonable acting and good cinematography. That's it!!!

This isn't a teen movie at all; it's about the life choices we make as foolish young adults.

To be honest, I didn't know what to expect of this movie, and since I had nothing better to do I sat right through it, initially expecting to be bored out of my wits within the first few minutes; however, I was pleasantly surprised.

Although it started off a little slow, it very quickly picked up the pace and turned into quite an interesting story about a young boring teenager coming of age with a bang.

A simple life choice turned into an epic summer adventure that, I am sure, would define his life forever after.

We all go through this at a certain point of our lives; so, I kind of believe that this movie serves as a warning to us to really be careful of how we approach our insecurities and desires to move up in life. And although we all make very stupid choices as youngsters, avoiding disastrous consequences can be done.

So this movie is about how your choices, if not properly thought out, can make your life spiral out of control.

Think before you act.

The idea is good, and is shown in the first episode, then it stays ok for a few episodes, but then it's all downhill hill from there.

Skip to the last episode of the last season where a woman, who's fiancé cheated on her with her colleague/friend, actually apologised to said colleague/friend for treating her coldly after she found out about her fiancé's and her friend's hookup; yeah right! For some reason that made me angry! But that anger was bottling up ever since the beginning of season 2.

However, Kiefer Sutherland was good, to be honest.

And if you want to see what goes on in the White House, I suggest the first three seasons of House Of Cards, regardless of how you feel about Kevin Spacey.

I know, my review is silly!
