A perfect action movie

Rating: 4/10 (22 March 2006)

...that's exactly what this is: an ACTION movie. It's not supposed to sweep the Oscars, the acting isn't supposed to be perfect, and it's not supposed to make perfect sense.
The story follows Inman, played by Jude Law and Ada Monroe, played by Nicole Kidman as they are separated before their epic love can ever truly be ignited. The film then centers around Inman fighting for, and then deserting the South in the civil war.
I loved this movie, and I hate how everyone's been calling it 'mindless action'. It's not mindless, it's actually very dramatic. The acting is great from pretty much all accounts, even Jack White does a good job.
Inman captures the 'love-torn soldier' role, and Kidman does well as his lover. Ethan Suplee delivers a great comedic performance as the moron.
Great, funny, intense, dramatic movie. 4/10.
