Ok I saw this movie like a year and a half ago and decided to buy it jsut last week and now I have it. It is increadible - at least for Indie flicks and people care about the Civil War. Just check out the Trailer: http://www.wickedspringmovie.com/wsframeset.html
The reason why I like this so much is its gritty and real representation of Civil War Combat in the later part of the war. I mean so many people think that the Civil War was one line shoots at the other and thats it but this movie brings so much more depth to it. You see Sergeants and Corporals directing fire, you see bullets flying around and people getting shot (Yes thats right in this Civil War movie the reenactors are actualy shot!) and artillery exploding, trees falling down and people running in panick, and a first in Civil War flicks they actualy take cover!
There are parts in this movie that remind me of Saving Private Ryan.
The acting is great and the story is pretty good if not completely believable - but again even if you don't like those parts this movie is worth its money just for the Battle scenes alone.

No! Not with Bullets! But you know how in movies like Gettysburg they just kind of fall over or something like that? In this movie its like they are actualy getting shot - like in the first few seconds of the battle scene this guy's leg just blows up from a mini ball; you don't see that in Ted Turner flicks.But what do you mean the re-enactors are actualy shot? as in with BULLETS?
