this movie be one of the sleeper of all time . i give it a 10 rating . the story be of the famed bushwhacker out of missouri that fight on the side of the south during the war between the state . the clothing they wear be authentic and the history and why they fight be very accurate and well research . there be actually one of the battle that do not take place a they depict . but not bad for hollywood . the actor be well cast and be either the most brilliant of actor or the director really know how to get the best from them . i suspect it be a combination of great directing and super casting to find the right people and excellent performing by the actor . not just one or two . this movie really jell . it have action and romance and suspense and good guy and bad guy ( sometimes depend on your individual perspective ) and history all roll into one movie . even have the future spiderman and jewel . and she good .
