“Rebel!” - Nat Turner

*SPOILERS*

I found this movie to be a great depiction of Nat Turner’s slave rebellion of 1831. It was well written, it was for the most part historically accurate and the acting and action scenes were great. My favorite part of this movie was when Nat Turner leads the other enslaved Blacks to the armory and fight against the 1st group of Whites and win. Some negative things about the movie were some historical inaccuracies such as in the movie Nat Turner turns himself in where in real life he was captured while hiding in the woods. All in all I would rate this movie a 8/10. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes history films, those who want to see a slave movie where the slaves fight back and those who are interested in the life of Nat Turner.
