big hollywood movie. serious casting flaws

Rating: 6/10 (13 January 2004)

I love costume dramas. And I had great expectations for Cold Mountain. However this movie offered nothing new, serving up a series of cliches and uneven performances. Both Kidman and Zellweger did not belong in this film. Their performances were unconvincing. On the plus side, the photography was excellent as was the music and the cut.
