Not a Civil War film

Rating: 1/10 (7 November 2004)

If someone hadn't told you, you wouldn't know that this was civil war film. We've all come to expect that there would be some battle scenes in a Civil War film yet there was one scene at the start of the film and it was very short.
It was basically a war about Southerners who were excited about getting into a war but after a few years decided to desert. Deserters are shot and those deserters are pursued throughout the film for their betrayal of the ideals for which they started this war.
Yes, there was some good acting but the film dragged on and had very little action.
It wasn't until after I read the reviews about the film that I found out it was made by the same dork that gave us one of the most boring films in history, "The English Patient". If I had known about this before renting this film, there's no way I would have rented this clap-trap.
If you're in the mood for a mindless, boring, ineffectual film, then this is the film for you.
For the love of everything that's holy, don't watch this nonsense.
