Cold Mountain Not so Hot

Rating: 4/10 (7 September 2004)

Cold Mountain seems an apt title. Young man meets a girl, falls in love, goes to war, gets hurt, can't get back to her, finally goes AWOL, nearly dies in returning, saves her from bad guys, then dies in a gun duel.
Some of the premises were less than convincing. I think the cinematography was pretty good, but it was hard to notice while sleeping.
Basically a Romance Novel on speed... guys, don't be fooled by the scary commercials and hints at war. A few explosions and disappointing gun fights make this movie out to be one big disappointment.
