Review title: Darn good film!
Product review: Darn good film!! I've written two screenplays inside this historical universe so I've done a ton of research into this time period and specifically Quantrill's Raiders. This film does a great job of depicting the confusion of the era and the impulse driven events of the bushwackers. I do very much wish Ang Lee would have shown the Kansas City 3 story jailhouse being pulled down with the raiders' womenfolk inside rather than just telling us. That is what the passion that pushed the raiders to destroy Lawrence, Ks was about. It was also what turned William Anderson into the vengeful 'Bloody Bill' Anderson which was depicted as 'Black John' by Jim Caveaseal. The ommission of the brutality of that one event skews the balanced in my estimation. Anyway, it plays to good effect even if slanted North. Well written, well shot, well acted and brilliantly directed by the always wonderful Ang Lee. Tobey McGuire is at his best. He really shines in this picture.
