I'd like to slug someone

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2004)

It's true that civil wars produce bad guys on both sides. It's also true that they divide families and hearts are broken and many people die without realizing true happiness.
I will only say that I spend 95% of this movie investing my attention, my emotions, suspending belief when necessary, and laughing at the appropriate moments when Ruby said things just like they get said around where I live (just over the ridge line from Cold Mountain), and then I spent the last 5% of the movie telling my wife, "See? It's a chick flick. There is no happy ending."
I won't spoil it. Go ahead and spend your money on this movie, but remember that with a slot maching you at least have a chance to win something.
