2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   I loved the human-interest slant on this tale of the Civil War. Jude Law’s undying love for Kidman draws him back to her despite the risk of being a deserter towards the end of the war. The story is engaging, and the cast is top notch. Zellweger is not quite believable as a hardened southern gal, but the Law/Kidman chemistry is apparent, Sutherland is fantastic, and many other recognizable actors fill in as characters that pull you in to the life that was the south during the civil war.
