“This movie is very cheezy. The acting isnu0026#39;t perfect, but it is (sort of) accurate. I especially liked the way they portrayed the Cherokee and the Osage. It shows a little research on the produceru0026#39;s part, but they didnu0026#39;t really portray Sam Houstonu0026#39;s life so accurately. A lot of his life was over dramatized, but I can look over that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you look at the movie in a whole view, it is ok… for TV. Recommended for viewing if you are bored and have an hour and a half to spare.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e6/10”
