Once there were movies--this isn't one of them

Rating: 3/10 (12 January 2004)

What a mish-mash. Nicole Kidman in full makeup (although suffering from war deprivation) yearns for Jude Law who is fleeing the Civil War battles to return to her. Unfortunately, he only knew her for one month or so before he went to war. Well, I guess that is the irony business. They are consumed by love for each other. A war movie that becomes, or tries to become a Greek myth and then ends up a western. Too long and too silly.
