STX Entertainment has released five new clips and fourteen images for the historical drama "Free State of Jones", which is now in theaters
Despite the film's strong premise based on a true story, critics didn't like it very much. While the cast offers some great performances, it's ultimately the execution that falls short, with a heavy handed, preachy tone and narrative inconsistency.
Written and directed by Gary Ross ("The Hunger Games"), the film stars Matthew McConaughey, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Mahershala Ali, Christopher Berry and Keri Russell.
Check out the clips and images after the jump.
Official Synopsis
"Written and directed by four-time Oscar® nominee Gary Ross (The Hunger Games, Seabiscuit, Pleasantville), and starring Oscar® winner Matthew McConaughey, Free State of Jones is an epic action-drama set during the Civil War, and tells the story of defiant Southern farmer, Newt Knight, and his extraordinary armed rebellion against the Confederacy. Banding together with other small farmers and local slaves, Knight launched an uprising that led Jones County, Mississippi to secede from the Confederacy, creating a Free State of Jones. Knight continued his struggle into Reconstruction, distinguishing him as a compelling, if controversial, figure of defiance long beyond the War."
