Emancipation is more of the self-righteous dreck Hollywood likes to trot out to make themselves feel good, but beyond that the film is guilty of the worst entertainment sin of all - it's boring. Shot in a colour gradient that made me feel like I had already gone to hell, this film is visually unappealing and not entertaining on any level. I couldn't get though more than about 45 minutes. B movie art film garbage. Smith's performance is formulaic and flat, once again phoning in his "I'm the most important person in the world" persona. Maybe the sequel will be better. I'm holding out for Emancipation 2 Electric Boogaloo, maybe Will Smith will rap his lines and get a little of the old fresh prince into the character.
