well made, but pointless

Rating: 5/10 (26 December 2002)

This movie is well made, well acted, well written, and completely pointless. While watching the movie, I really noticed the nearly three hours length. By the end, I just didn't care about the characters or what was happening to them. The back story of the military draft for the civil war and the riots in New York because of it was more interesting to me than the trivial lives of the main characters.
5 out of 10
