Title: Don't Bother
Review: This movie is deficient in a variety of ways. First, although it is shot on location, the photography is so bland and uninteresting that it may as well have been shot in my backyard. Secondly, the script is weak, although the actors do a fine job with so little material. However, the worst aspect of this movie is the lack of historical accuracy, on every level. There are 2 murders portrayed which did not actually happen, and the murders that did happen are not portrayed! The characters are wrong, and the approach to the cannibalism is simply revolting. While it did really happen, why must a movie protray the group eating "human flesh" (which looked like chicken) about 5 different times? The real "Forlorn Hope" (who did NOT name themselves, by the way..the military term was ascribed to them 30 years after the distaster by an author) even ate their own moccasins before resorting to eating the dead, with great reluctance. Don't bother with this dreary, plodding film.
Is the review positive or negative?
