About this product
Product Information
Director Ang Lee follows up the critically acclaimed THE ICE STORM with this look at the bloody, intense conflict between the pro-Confederate Bushwackers and the pro-Union Jayhawkers in Missouri during the Civil War. Pitting neighbor against neighbor, the war in the frontier state tested personal loyalties and often created strange alliances. The film, based on Daniel Woodrell's book WOE TO LIVE ON, follows the conflict through the eyes of two outsiders: a German immigrant's son (Tobey Maguire) and a free black man (Jeffrey Wright), both of whom fight for the Bushwhackers even though they are looked down upon by their fellow guerrillas. The acting is strong all around, the setting realistically grim and absorbing, and Frederick Elmes's photography is, as always, top-notch. Pop singer Jewel appears onscreen for the first time, playing a plucky Southern woman. A nuanced examination of the bonds of obligation, RIDE WITH THE DEVIL anticipates Lee's high-flying CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, both in theme and in pulse-pounding action. The film contains many standout action sequences, including a historically accurate re-creation of William Quantrill's infamous raid on Lawrence, Kansas.Product Identifiers

Ride with the Devl had had a riveting plot, a period look/feel. It featured a cast totally unfamiliar to mee
I was looking for something with a Civil War setting. I was amazed that the film covered so much of Bleeding Kansas" and the role of bushwhackets, jayhawks, and farm folks attempting to survive the brutality.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

One of the best Civil War Movies based "border war" Missouri/Kansas Ever !!!!.......
This movie had more to offer besides war. It had family. A very difficult time period those 2 states who had mixed feelings about the war, slavery. Confederate soldiers had some help with food ect; By southern families. Some throughout the winter........Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Movie review
This is an authentic movie showing the way it was during the war, not just in the midwest but in many border areas during the war and even in various areas in the Southern States. The movie has several inner plots going and is entertaining, sad at times, and funny at other times. A different take on the differences and things in common both sides endured during this difficult time our nation went through. It has a touching ending and I recommend it as an addition to help understand what people go through in times like the movie portrays.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Thought-provoking with great acting!
I loved the characters and the actors, the quirky yet engaging dialogue, the scenery, the score, and the story. It was great to have the re-enactors playing their part to the hilt, Tobey's long hair was a hoot. The one criticism I have is that, though the story itself was bloody enough, much of the costumery and scenery seemed too squeaky clean for what all was going on, and perhaps a few too many feathers in what appeared to be brand new hats. Perhaps there was a need to minimize the damage to clothing and appurtenances. Otherwise it is a movie I watch over and over, and I cannot watch the parting scene at the end without tearing up every time. Tom WatersVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Pleasant surprise. Somehow I never heard of this when it came out.
I was not around during the Civil War, but from my studies, this movie seems to be a good representative. I was surprised that Tobey Maguire went from Spider Man to this kind of role. I enjoyed the movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
