Jeffrey Wright lacked the emotional charge needed to portray Dr. Martin Luther King.
You would think that the writers would have given the part of Rosa Parks much more of a build up. Other than the first scene, when she refuses to yield her seat to a white person, the role of Ms. Parks is virtually non-existent.
The movie is a definite decisive portrayal of the Montgomery Bus boycott and its rise of Martin Luther King to a leadership position in the movement.
Some good acting is done by CCH Pounder as Ms. Robinson, a member of the committee.
Sad to see that others would use Baynard Rustin's previous membership in the Communist Party to discredit the boycott. The movie shows what the white power structure in Alabama did in an attempt to end the refusal by blacks to use the public transportation system.
