Very good film

Rating: 7/10 (6 February 2011)

I'm not going to write a long drawn out review like some others but I think this movie is very entertaining & dramatic. I have liked this movie since I was about 13 (when it first came out). Reading all of these reviews that are saying it's not accurate history actually irritated me. While I do agree that it is not completely accurate, it never claimed to be. Its supposed to be based on true events NOT a true story. If you want accurate history watch a documentary. This is a MOVIE people, get over it. And to the person that said something about why would a black man fight for a slave state, that just made you sound ridiculous, black men fought for the slave states because the ones that fought were promised freedom if whatever side they fought for won. But anyway, it's a very good movie & if you want good entertainment don't pass up the opportunity to watch this one because a few people watched it expecting a full true story and decided to write a bad review...
