Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Visually arresting but dramatically flat.
Fresh: Admirably expressive.
Fresh: Lee and his team bring the period and place to life brilliantly, in its every frontier main street, homely speech pattern, and burnt gunpowder fog.
Fresh: The cast is attractive and proficient at handling the fancy dialogue the filmmakers offer up as period vernacular.

MY FAVORITE CIVIL WAR FILM!!!
AMAZING!!! This is what I call great entertainment! Ang Lee provides us with such a great and powerful adventure story. It's even packed with great battle scenes, and a wonderful cast led by Tobey Maguire. I thought the real eye opener of the film was Jeffrey Wright, giving a huge, uplifting performance as former slave/rebel, Holt. Please, SEE IT!!! You will applaud it!
One of my favorites
I stumbled onto this film on cable a few years back, I have seen it half a dozen times since. Just a really good story, direction, acting, and production value. Everything you would expect from this level of cast, crew, and director.
Great Film.......Very true to history
It was great to work on this film. It was filmed in kansas. It was my pleasure to get to know those guys before they became famous. Before spiderman, The mentalist.......
