At most, a 7. At least, a 6. So, I'd give it a 6.5. The movie is carried along well and the director's influence has a strong pull. The set pieces, choreography and scenery are fairly realistic, though I find the film Field of Lost Shoes slightly better in this category. The acting is what you might expect from a historically revisioned western, seeing how trimmed and tailored the characters are for appearing on screen. This can be excused though and a break from having Civil war reenactors actually involved. Whilst it might come across as straining at truth sometimes, I believe it does an honest job. The good pursuit of gains and pains.
