How funny... as a drama teacher, I would highly recommend the movie and especially the last 1/2 hour (from the time Jackson is wounded up to his death) to watch a great actor go through his paces. I thought Lang was phenomenal. (He was equally brilliant as Pickett in Gettysburg)
Good is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
Yes, Stephen Lang is a good actor, but the script didn't help him. Perhaps those scenes might have made a good play focused on the death of Jackson, perhaps not. But they looked excessive in a movie with other things in focus.
Good is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
No argument there.
