Frank J. Avella Edge Media Network Shiloh has obvious anti-war parallels, with these misguided, gung-ho boys having no clue why they're fighting, slowly figuring it out, and quickly losing all desire to fight...There are moving moments, especially with Sarrazin near the end.

Audience Member Good western/war movie will recommend it, James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas July 18, 2023 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Realistic historical drama. Young Harrison Ford and good cast. Done like "Alias Smith and Jones" from that era. Good movie if you are not a critic. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Si se quiere ver a James Caan en una extraña faceta de vaquero, entonces hay que verlo en Journey to Shiloh (1969). Con botas, chaleco, sombrero y una no muy favorecedora melena, James Caan es el líder de un grupo de amigos texanos, dispuestos a enrolarse como soldados durante la Guerra Civil. Harrison Ford lo acompaña, en uno de sus primeros papeles en cine de su à (C)poca âpre-Han-Soloâ. Su jornada los lleva por distintas aventuras, en la que descubrirán tanto la crudeza de la esclavitud como la discriminación social. Ah, claro, y el amor, al menos nada más para Buck (James Caan), cuando lleve a cabo el romántico deber de defender a una bella camarera en un casino, nada menos que de unos soldados confederados. Y será bien recompensado por ello. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Ponderous western starts out well but loses it's way at about the halfway point. Much of the fault lies in the direction since the cast are all able players. James Caan's wig is so obviously fake that it becomes incredibly distracting. Still interesting for the cast including a young Harrison Ford. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Civil war story of youth, honour and innocence with a good supporting cast to Caan and Sarrazin albeit in a routine story. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I came across this the other night. The parallels to the Vietnam war are so obvious here. It's a pretty by-the-numbers western with stock characters and phoney settings. It's hilarious just to see a young Harrison Ford and Jan-Michael Vincent as part of Caan's "soldiers".
