Jonathan F The acting isn't bad, maybe even approaching good. The script is horrible: ponderous, contrived, weird. No white person in the script seems to actually like slavery. The slaves themselves were sad about the whole thing, but understanding. Kind of surprising. It comes down to a weird apologia to the VMI for being traitors to this nation for a not very good reason. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Robert H The history and story of the VMI Cadets honored in a film that shows the kids, and men, in the cadets that became heroes of New Market... Superb acting and a great retelling of boys who became men during the midst of The American Civil War. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Liam D It has an great cast for a low budget movie and some impressive battle sequences but it’s cheapness can be seen throughout the film Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Alex S 6.5/10. Decent film that places focus on all sorts of different motives for fighting in the war and retells real events from the conflict. Characters are very well acted, the biggest flaws in the film are the generally underperforming writing and poor visualization of the progression of the battle. The low score is entirely undeserved and the many 'critics' and viewers who claim the film does not show a single confederate supporting slavery is a total lie and their perception of the motives for soldiers to fight is skewed and oversimplified by presentism teachings of history. In the south people fought for all sorts of reasons, including preservation of slavery for self interest, but also for revenge, loyalty to state over federal government, principles of local governance, etc. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review edward j Wonderful and factual movie,great acting, battle scenes, brotherhood of comrades in war, romantic era, but chess pieces looked plastic, not invented yet!
