Title: Whiny, godawful disjointed waste of celluloid
Product review: Cold Mountain never got off the ground. Its largest problem is the failure of any of its actors to emote, however, given the fact that all of their characters are nothing but ciphers, that's to be expected.We never find out anything about their characters and as a result it's almost impossible to identify with any of them. The Renee character is so much of a country stereotype that we almost expect a banjo riff whenever she appears onscreen. The script also lacks three acts, as the movie is just a collection of short events.None of these events are particularly exciting, and when coupled with the other writing problems, you end up with a film that has you checking your watch over and over again.Now on to some good things: it's shot well. The photography is ok, but that's unfortunately all the positive things this film has going for it. There are far better romantic movies out there for you to see.
