Movie Reviews of Ride with the Devil
Movie Review: Excellent and underrated
Summary: 5 Stars
Apparently, USA, which produced this film, was going under at the time of its release and it was show in only 14 theaters. This is a beautiful, emotionally engaging and entertaining film capturing a period and part of the civil war not often depicted. Skeet Ulrich and Tobey Maguire play two Missouri teens who join a rebel group of Bushwackers (Confederate sympathizers). But this isn't a film that promotes one side or the other. Rather, it shows the similarity and familiarity between both sides.
The acting is wonderful and the story sensitive.
Movie Review: Jewel was SO amazing :)
Summary: 5 Stars
The only reason that I wanted to see this movie was because my favorite singer, Jewel was in it. The first time I saw this movie I loved it, and I still do. :o) I loved the story, the acting, the music, and everything about it. Especially Jewel. She was SO amazing as Sue Lee Shelly, and Jewel is an amazing actress (unlike other singers like Mariah Carrey and Britney Spears ^^). The other actors in the movie are excellent too. I recommend this movie to movie fans, and Jewel fans. I also loved Jewel's music video "What's Simple is True".Movie Review: Authentic and entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only the visuals but the dialog and the political forces that brought about war on the Missouri-Kansas border are authentically portrayed. What was at stake was their very way of life but they chose to fight for friendship and for a love of what they knew they could not keep. It is perhaps the best movie I have seen of its kind - whether one classifies it as a war movie or a coming of age movie. I can watch it again and again and it never grows old. It is unfortunate that it has gone virtually unnoticed.Movie Review: A Beautiful Film
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll just have to be honest, I haven't even seen the film yet, but I've read the novel and the script by James Shaamus and I'm impressed. Ang Lee is a wonderful director and is much worthy of praise for bringing this story to the screen, something that's been needing to happen for a long time. And how wonderful to see Jewel in this film. She is a beautiful and talented woman that has made a wonderful name for herself and it's great to see her take on this role. So see Ride With the Devil...you'll enjoy.Movie Review: Want to know what the Civil War was about? Watch This!
Summary: 5 Stars
A lot of Civil War movies have been made over the years. Most are fluffy and politically correct and almost all focus on the eastern theatre (Gettysburg ad nauseum). Ride With The Devil focuses on the Border War between Missouri and Kansas, where the Civil War really began. No fluff, it portrays these Missourian's in the manner they acted. It is harsh, brutal, and unforgiviing, just as the conflict was.
So if you are tired of the same old, rehashed over and over, Civil War movies, get this one.
