Madmax meets American history books

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2003)

I'd like the movie much much better if it did not pretend to say anything historically real.
It mixes American history with a Madmax like plot, and I came out of the movie not knowing much more about what really happened during the 1860's in New York. The movie tells a story... but it's difficult to tell when the movie tries to say something about what really happened and when it just tries to be entertaining.
