At best its below average war flick. add to that the factually incorrect disinformation being thrown in viewers faces. add to that the fact that this fictional representation also fails to mention the blackregiments roles in the extermination of hundreds of thousands of indians immediately following the war. but I guess then it wouldnt paint such a good picture and would not suitably fit into the 2020 blm narrative being oushed here now would it. yawn. after wasting an hour of my time on htis, think Ill go watch 'the first 48 for a dose of reality and to purge this fakeness from my being.

dont believe the hype..
Surprising good.
An outstanding ensemble cast of up and coming actors relate a good story with some skill and a noticeable dedication to the craft. The story could have meandered into the standard videoed-reenactment stuff of YouTube, but it manages to rise above the commonplace in a number of ways. Bruce Dern is a surprise - 'he's still alive for one thing - playing the part of a hokey , antebellum do-gooder and pulls it off professionally. The hunter-killer bounty hunter is a solid nemesis before 'rising to the stars'. Good solid work! There's credible visitation of the 'Gabby Hayes School of Cowboy Actin'' A comely mulatto wench and a sold cast of everything elses. Great costuming. Only the odd or end to surprise. I'm watching this again and tracking down the possible movie tune of the pandemic year. "The Other Side" - thought it was Dolly P but this gal might even be better. That alone is worth an audition or three.
Black man good, White man bad.
Come get your latest race hustler fuel. It has the same historical accuracy as the historical movie about Wakanda.
