Review of The Retrieval (2013) by Lovro H — 20 Aug 2015

Well, I honestly think this was better than 12 Years A Slave.

The movie is about a boy and his uncle doing jobs for their master. The jobs usually consist of the boy and his uncle finding black people's hideouts and telling their master where they are, so he can make them his slaves. But, the plot thickens as the two of them are asked to bring their master a man who he wants dead. So, the duo goes on a trip to find the man, but the boy gets really attached to him and doesn't want to bring him to their master. The movie is very powerful. It has some really amazing scenes. The acting was brilliant. Everyone did a great job with their roles. The boy impressed me the most. The characters are very interesting as you never know what they might do next. There are a few twists and turns along the way, which I won't spoil. The ending is very emotional. The soundtrack has some amazing pieces that fit the movie very well and make some of the scenes even more dramatic. The dialogue in the movie is great. You can really feel how the boy, Will, and the man he was sent out to find, Nate, connect and start a great friendship. There is a lot of emotion and power in this movie and I would really recommend you to give this movie a chance! Who knows, even you might like it more than the Oscar-winning 12 Years A Slave!
