This film is thoroughly disappointing!

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2005)

This film is seriously disappointing in every possible way except visually. It was a huge mistake to make such a film based on a time of American history that seems unexceptional and truly unimportant. If you see this movie it will probably be because of its famous director or co-stars and in doing so, you will ultimately feel like a sucker.
The characters are over-played, particularly Daniel Day-Lewis' character who is supposed to be the feared protagonist. One look at him with that ridiculous mustache and accent and you cant help but laugh. You end up hating him more out of irritation than anything else. The first introduction to him is the first scene (the only action scene) where he skins and guts human people like pieces of meat, he is after all a butcher by profession.
