Critics: x Top Critics: N/A Community: x Friends: x Favorites: N/A Posted on 6/25/08 at 5:51 PM THE COLOR OF FREEDOM - A not so memorable snippet of South African life. Despite the fact that FREEDOM was based on the true story of NELSON MANDELA's white guard GREGORY for almost 20 years, the film focused mostly on action and very little on character development. The acting by JOSEPH FIENNES, as the guard, is good as usual, but DAVID HAYSBERT as MANDELA was very flat and one note. The biggest problem was the story line - a 5 minute script stretched into an hour and 45 minute movie. The overall production was first rate, but the filmmakers didn't have enough material to work with - the film is worth watching you might need a little shock treatment to stay awake. 2 Comments \| Post a Comment \| Send This \| Report Abuse newscgirl on 6/26/08 at 9:53 AM Hmmm. Hadn't heard of this one. I might have to check it out, but will keep your review in mind if I do. The actors are certainly interesting, though. 1 Reply \| Reply Report Abuse KimsClassicMovies on 6/26/08 at 1:31 PM I rented COLOR OF FREEDOM simply because I like JOSEPH FIENNES. I saw him in RUNNING WITH SCISSORS and he was great! The production is terrific but don't expect a deep insight into the struggles of SOUTH AFRICA. The characterization was on the shallow side so I really didn't connect with the characters - thus I really didn't care about them or their struggles much. 0 Replies \| Reply Report Abuse
