Urban Cinefile
...[The film] should delight Civil War buffs....Beautifully photographed in various locations around Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia...
New York Times
Every shot is fired in sorrow, and there are no villains - except, of course, for the politicians, who remain safely out of the frame.

Sydney Morning Herald
Rating: 2/5 --
The big battles impress, but become somewhat samey. Part Three is threatened.

Four hours including the intermission, I felt like I was seeing the Civil War in real time for awhile there.

Product Description:
This epic film from writer-director Ron Maxwell chronicles the early events of the American Civil War. It's a prequel to his earlier GETTYSBURG, with some of the same cast, and is part of a planned trilogy. Stephen Lang plays Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, the famous (and deeply religious) Confederate general who, along with fellow General Robert E. Lee (Robert Duvall), must weigh the mighty consequences of his actions, as each battle costs the lives of thousands of men. Over on the Union side there's Jeff Daniels as Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, who, like Jackson and Lee, is fond of making long, poetic speeches to his troops. Beginning with the start of the war and ending with Jackson's death, the film chronicles the three main battles leading up to Gettysburg, using their actual locations and thousands of actual Civil War re-enactors as extras. Maxwell pays careful attention to authentic period detail as he chronicles the minutiae of the generals' domestic lives in the intervals between the harrowing battle scenes. While a little on the long side, the end result should serve as an invaluable document for history buffs. Mogul Ted Turner was an executive producer and appears in a small role.
