The low ratings are not based on the quality, story or worth of the movie as I perceive. This movie is based on real events that go to the heart of what America was and in many places still is. To see this side of America hurts those that refuse to acknowledge America the Beautiful - ugly evil warts and all. It is well presented, well acted, well told. It is worth seeing, if not for the quality of the film, then for the truth of the film. And, it is worth seeing with the whole family. Note that this is not a family movie, but rather a movie that reflects us. Truth hurts, but truth shall set you free.
