“Well, given the very low rating that this 2019 Western have been getting on IMDb, I must admit that I wasnu0026#39;t particularly thrilled about watching it. But still, it was a movie that I hadnu0026#39;t already seen before, plus it was centered around the American Civil War, so of course I had to watch it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd believe you me, this movie was bad from an entertainment perspective. There was no red thread throughout the course of the entire movie, and everything felt like it was just a compilation of randomly shot scenes that were put together to make a movie. And it beats me what writer and director Christopher Forbes was thinking here with that approach to the movie. Surely, someone must have stopped at a point along the way and asked u0026quot;Sir, why is there no coherency to what we are doing?u0026quot;u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe storyline was just utter rubbish. As I just mentioned above, there is not coherency to the storyline. It felt like I was watching a selection of endlessly random scenes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs for the acting in the movie, well letu0026#39;s just say that the acting performances were dubious at best. So you should not expect to see any grand performances to match those seen in the 1993 u0026quot;Gettysburgu0026quot; or the 1989 u0026quot;Gloryu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe cutting and editing of the movie was just atrocious, and it felt like something performed on a high school amateur level. Yup, it was that bad.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat worked for the movie, however, was the costumes and the props. That was definitely something worth watching. But sadly, that was essentially all that u0026quot;American Confederateu0026quot; had going for it. That and the movieu0026#39;s cover, which was the reason why I picked up the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you enjoy movies that are set in the American Civil War, then you might want to skip on this movie, because it is a mess and a waste of time. I am rating u0026quot;American Confederateu0026quot; a generous two out of ten stars. I managed to sit through it, but this was an ordeal to get through, and I wasnu0026#39;t entertained nor enjoying what director Christopher Forbes served.”
