Just finished watching the movie and it gives you a brief but interesting history of old Texas. Isaiah Washington's portrayal of U. S. Marshall Bass Reeves was a good class on "method acting". I can understand now who they choose him as the motif for "The Lone Ranger". His emotions without speaking made the film.
The character of Sam Tanner was someone I never heard of but have an extra layer to Bass' character. I liked the touch of going back to Bass' days as a slave as well. It helps understand his persistent nature and will to never die. The antagonists hooked me in and had me wanting to see their eventual demise all movie long, which is always a positive (credit to the actors).
Mr. Washington has a great film here and one that all Black Americans should watch. Thank you.
