Movie Reviews of Ride with the Devil
Movie Review: A Future Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an extraordinarily good historical film, one in which the characters truly speak as did the people living during the era depicted, one in which the scenery and setting, clothing, weapons, hairstyles, equipment and minutia of everyday life were close to perfect. At times violent, though I'm certain less violent than were the actual sights of the war itself, Ride with the Devil surprised me with its depth and its understanding of the subject matter. There isn't a single scene in this long production which does not hold the attention, and the performances are excellent. I believe this film will one day be a classic. It's worth owning, watching, and re-watching.Movie Review: Found in the discount section
Summary: 5 Stars
This would have normally been a movie I would not rent. Basically because it was in the $.50 rental section of our local video store. I am really glad I did!This is a great film on the Civil War and tells the story from a very different perspective than previous mini-series and movies. A few portions of the film drag slightly, but not enough to break the tension of the story line. There is also some very graphic battle scenes alnog with the aftermath.
This is one of those movies that has been overlooked by many, including myself.
Whether you love American history or not, this film is worth the watch. I Highly recommend!
Movie Review: One of the best !
Summary: 5 Stars
I very much enjoyed this movie after I incidentally came across it looking for a movie to rent.This movie is about the First Kansas Irregular, the Bushwhakers who lead a fight of their own against the so much hated Unionists ( Jayhawkers) during the civil war.
You follow Jake Roedel's and his friend Jack Bull Chiles' journey from the time they join the Bushwhakers when they are only boys (16) all the way to the end.
Tobey Maguire as Jake gives a powerful performance.
I think this is one of the best movies set in the civil war era;
sadly this movie has been overlooked and does not get the credit it deserves.
Movie Review: The Real War.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok I will not bore you with summarizing the plot. All I can say is that if you think this will be like you're granddad's World War 2 movie think again. This is more along the lines of Platoon(ok I may be steeping out on a limb). The characters are many and memorable the action scenes(though few in number in some cases towards the middle) are equally engaging. The soundtrack is also excellent. I most espically like the fact that(unlike in Gettysburg) the directors aren't shy about what a bullet does to the human body. To make it all the more engaging you don't have to know Jack about the civil war to enjoy this movie.Movie Review: The Real War.
