A decent film on a real event. Good acting, smooth plot, but nothing incredible either. Raises questions on what is the best way to change a corrupt and rotten system.

decent movie, good performances

Know your history. Great film. Intense and will have you on the edge of your seat. Doesn’t whitewash American history.

Where is our main character's backstory? Why should we root for him (besides the fact he is racially discriminated against)? Where did he come from? What was his life like before the Army? While The 24th is a much-needed cinematic tale, these questions are left unanswered, and the film suffers greatly because of it.

Very authentic and very upsetting. Acting was great.

Truth hurts. This is a story based on true events. Well acted. Well written. A compelling story well worth your time to see it.

Exceptionally well-made film. Beautiful writing and imagery, and the story is certainly one worth telling. Between the placement of the American flag during a scene showing abuse of the soldiers, and the flashback to Marie on the swing set right before a painful ending, the subtle pairings of hope, misplaced faith, and raw abuse at the hands of this country, were incredibly powerful. Exceptional performances by Aja Naomi King, Trai Byers, and Cuyle Carvin left me respectively moved, heart-broken, and disturbed.

Fantastic movie about a horrific event.

What a powerful and moving story. Curious I've never heard about this tragic episode from our history. I highly recommend this powerful drama!

I thought the acting was very real and unaffected. Scenes of cruelty and disregard by white people toward black soldiers and civilians were chilling, and cut right into my heart. I hurt inside for them, wanting to help "make the world safe for democracy" and yet without guarantee of any kind because of their color, and their parents or grandparents' former state of slavery."But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." I quote from the Declaration of Independence. In short: no justice, no peace. Be all that as it nay: I think this film should be shown to all 7th grade U.S. History classes.

It's a great movie showing the racism in the past and what happened and could happen today if people are of colour are oppressed. It's definitely eye opening.

I love gritty and historical pieces. True stories I can imagine are hard to do, but the 24th moved a little too fast, as if it were running out of time from the beginning. The message was clear that the men just wanted to be treated like everyone else, but I didn't get enough of their back stories, as the story was too focused on the central character, which I didn't know could be a thing. Love Trai btw. Hayes, the guy who played Bubba in Forrest Gump did a great job as always, and mainly who I found myself watching. I wanted to see more of the rivalry with Walker. I wanted to see the fire come out of Walker, but we left him for awhile and then the burn was put out quickly after a conversation with he and Boston. Two of the unknowns were some of the better part of the film to me, and are actors to watch. Tommy Lee was a POS, but the actor played it well. Could definitely see him playing a villain in larger films. Then Lucky, who I thought was going to be an annoying nuisance just disappeared, but at the end of the film a gave a damn near Oscar winning performance. He, Walker, and Hayes should have had stronger subplots as men in the 24th division. The prospective of the newbie, the antagonist, and the veteran worn out from war. This was different to see of Trai. He is like an American sweetheart, so it's hard to seem as some of the moments in the film. It just felt like Walker and Hayes had a bit more grit, and it was uneven. I wanted to see more of an ensemble struggle for the men. Even including more of the extras that played soldiers to portray what life was like for the entire unit of men. However, it took courage to tell this story. I knew nothing of these events.
