The Journey of August King [Region 2] Reviews:
Showed the extremes of Human nature
2008-06-19 - I saw this movie on Austar in a Motel on holidays or vacation as Americans call them. I determined to get hold of it and I did through Amazon.
I want to commend the reports in here and I wholeheartedly agree with most of them.
I have not figured out why they beheaded some folks in the movie..I realise there was the slavery aspect and attitudes of slave owners etc. I liked Patrick's permormance and the slave girl actress (Thane?)as well.
have not figured out if there was some religious angle in there as well.
Thoroughly enjoyable and I think a lot of the other reviewers have said a lot of what I would as well.
Cheers,

The Journey of August King
2007-03-29 - Have bought at least a dozen dvds of this movies to share. A wonderful story about growth and goodness. An excellent movie for teenagers too. It may not have won any Oscars but this is a movie you won't regret purchasing.

Super Powerful Film
2004-12-03 - This is one of the most powerful movies I have ever seen. I would give it a 10 out of 10. Incredible. It is an uplifting film about the potential of the human spirit. This film teaches what will really heal the wounded hearts of our nations prejudice against one another, which is having love towards one another. A very moving and inspiring movie.

Less than 1 star
2003-11-22 - This movie is VERY BAD, INDEED!
Is totally predictable and disgusting!
Sorry for her because she is a good actress.

move over Halle Berry
2003-02-06 - after recently seeing "The Truth About Charlie", I was captivated by a great actress-Thandie Newton. Iwent online to find more of her films and after reading reviews purchased this film. I watched it 5 times the first week. what a phenomenal film about humanity and redemption. jason patric is out standing as a farmer driven by his conscience to help a runaway slave girl. larry drake is so real as the evil slave master, but it's thandie newton who steals the movie becoming so believable as the desperate slave girl. she's an incredible actress, far superior to any out there. i've never seen such chemistry between inter-racial couples in film as mr. patric and miss newton. the reviewerwriting this is of white descent and consider myself very impartial.giving credit to great actresses such as hepburn,fonda,streep,hayward etc. i've never seen an actress get more into character than Thandie Newton.Move over Halle Berry and every actress in film, Thandie Newton holds her own and is a true talent. see her in "Flirting"' "Truth About Charly", "M.I.-2" and see a great talent who is much under-rated.
