The novelty of seeing Clint Eastwood as a manipulative but sympathetic villain is the only worthwhile aspect of "The Beguiled." Completely ludicrous and slightly perverse, this Civil War-era film shows the commotion that arises when an under-sexed group of women at a Southern boarding school take in a wounded but virile Union soldier. The more the women are repulsed by him, the more they want him. First half of "The Beguiled" is intriguing, but the last half is frothy soap opera.
