I cry like a baby-man when I watch this movie

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 1999)

This movie is unstoppable brillance. Denzel, Morgan, Andre, and Matthew give career-topping performances that are matched by a believeable, outstanding script. The movie's attention to historic detail is pretty good (although the last scene where they storm the Fort is a little inaccurate) and I can safely say there will never be a better Civil War movie than this.
I swear to you that when Matthew Broderick goes out to see if his troops have deserted him and the music kicks in when he finds out, I cry EVERY SINGLE TIME. And when they are going to whip Denzel for deserting and pull off his shirt to find whip scars from when he was a slave and he cries tears of defiance - I FALL TO MY KNEES and SOB.
God bless this movie - I am getting jazzed just thinking about it. It was their one shot at glory, they knew the odds, and they took it...
