Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Civil War drama Comment: Many people seem to be missing the point of this excellent indie production. This is NOT meant to be some action-filled, war epic. But rather, a thoughtful, small-scale film, focusing on a small group of men from both sides of the Civil War. I've seen a number of reviews saying how far-fetched the plot was - nonsense! It's a known fact that Union & Confederate soldiers often met during lulls in the fighting to exchange supplies and swap stories. Who's to say that something along the lines of this movie didn't happen! At any rate, rather than focusing on battle scenes, instead it focuses on individual soldiers and what was going on in their own lives. A very good film, worth watching and worth thinking on, despite the downbeat ending. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't Bother. Comment: This is most likely the worst movie I have ever seen. It's a pity, because I have a particularly strong interest in the battle of the Wilderness. I can't tell you how disappointed I was watching this film. Intensely boring with indiscernable dialogue, I bet even the cast falls asleep when they watch this film. Directed by Kevin R Hershberger and produced by mistake. Please dont waste your time. Customer Rating: Summary: Realistic Representation of the Soldiering Life Comment: This movie is perhaps one of the most realistic depictions of the plain soldiering life of the foot soldier. There isn't any glamour and the men are just presented as plain men. The beginning was actually well done, and while there wasn't any talking at the very beginning; it was so well done that we didn't notice it. The music was pleasant all throughout. I thought the exchange between the yankee soldier and the Confederate soldier with the letters was especially touching. The ending is not the typical happy ending or romanticized ending that movies usually have, but rather it has a tragic and probably more realistic ending than most war movies. There is some swearing, but mostly the milder swear words and for the most part it is a pretty clean movie. I was pleasantly surprised as all the acting was well done. (Which isn't typical in indie films.) It is a movie that I would recommend to anyone. Customer Rating: Summary: finale fizzle Comment: wicked spring starts off with and interesting theme of soldiers from each side of the civil war experiencing the trials and heartaches of war and soldiering.there are good battle scenes initially but the movie then gets over dramatic and weepy over lost love and one soldier's manical hate of yankees as they sit around the campfire for the rest of the movie until their final wipeout in the middle of a battle.nice start with realistic fight scenes but the action is short lived and the drama takes over.a hard core cw buff would like as a collection additive but anyone else would be advised to pass. this flick could have been very good if the action had been sustained. Customer Rating: Summary: Boring Comment: I had to force myself to sit through this. I kept thinking it was going to get better...but it didn't. More Reviews
