Great story but not good filming
The movie tells the story of two runaway slaves, their journey and things happened after they made it to the free state as the trailer shows. The story is great and there are moments that are touching, underground railroad people fight until death, and face it in a strong way, “He died for what he is fighting for”. but the filming is not good enough. It doesn’t have the tension that a “runaway” story should have, everything seemed to be too smooth like it was supposed to happen. I am not worried about they got caught, they starved to death, they got bitten by snacks, none! why? cause’ movie doesn’t do a good job creating the atmosphere for me. One of my favorite movie, the Jaws, the shark doesn’t show up very often, but I was nervous the whole time. Steven Spielberg did a good job, but Thomas Phillips didn’t. Anyway, if you would like to see Jeremiah Trotter and would like to have a happy ending movie about this dark time in America history, I would say it still worth seeing, but don’t expect a “Hollywood level” movie
