A lot of Civil War movies have been made over the years. Most are fluffy and politically correct and almost all focus on the eastern theatre (Gettysburg ad nauseum). Ride With The Devil focuses on the Border War between Missouri and Kansas, where the Civil War really began. No fluff, it portrays these Missourian's in the manner they acted. It is harsh, brutal, and unforgiviing, just as the conflict was.So if you are tired of the same old, rehashed over and over, Civil War movies, get this one.
