Customer Reviews

This movie has that elusive something.

“Out of the chaos of brother against brother, came a new realization of our common destiny.” The story of how a handful of heroes blocked Sherman's march to the sea. Two friends from West Point find themselves on opposite sides in the war. The conflicts are not as cut and dry as they would appear, as two things come to mind while watching this movie. One is the basic conflict between friendship and loyalty to a cause; many times, this is mistaken, resulting in the balance of power changing. The second is a little more superficial but just as intriguing; both sides in the conflict must come up with ways to outgun the other side by using technology outside of its intended purpose. The use of a naval gun on a rail car is one. You will have to watch the movie to see the solution to extending the range of the smaller cannon. Other conditions call for more radical action. Does the mission succeed, and is it worth the price paid on both sides? I can say the movie is worth the price of repeated viewing.
