Outstanding Civil War movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2003)

If you would like to see a great movie that also is educational about the Civil War, this is it. Many high school students watch this for US History class. The acting in this movie is beyond outstanding. Matthew Broderick gives his best ever performance. Cary Elwes is great. Andre Braugher (better known from Duets) is excellent. Morgan Freeman is brilliant. And lastly, Denzel gives perhaps his best performance. The musical score is top notch and the action is exciting.
There is also a 2 disc special edition DVD set. 9.8 Stars.
