Davis is fierce and formidable as a 19th century African warrior in an action film that has a similar crowd-pleasing appeal to 'Braveheart' and 'Gladiator
In Hollywood stereotype, the continent of Africa -- a place of 54 countries and a multitude of cultures -- often is depicted as an undifferentiated mass of pain, suffering and instability with no history worth caring about before colonization."The Woman King" , set in the early 19th century in West Africa's Dahomey kingdom, goes a long way to righting that wrong.
Based loosely on the exploits of the real-life Agojie, the all-female wing of the Dahomey army ,"The Woman King" stars Viola Davis as the fierce and fearless general, Nanisca, and John Boyega as King Ghezo, a leader who finds himself on the precipice of change, having recently taken over the throne from his brother.
