One of the great historical movies

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2001)

Good to see a Movie that is true to the book and the period. The Acting is very good with excellent performances by Berenger, Daniels and Sam Elliott.
The battle scenes are some of the best on film giving the full feel of a large scale battle which a lot of movies struggle with.
A bit long for the average movie goer but it does help if you are interested in the period (American Civil War) and/or have read the book(s)
