Its a drama worth watching, 5 January 2008
6/10
Author: fogfrogblog from United States

Of course movies shouldn't be taken as historical references, it is purely for entertainment. Big names of in the business refuse to comment on this film honestly, because this movie has a negative portrayal of the early mormon religion. Of course, any big businesses religions will deny any involvements that could mar their reputation. The crusades, etc. The fact remains that people in the olden days can be irrational and barbaric, and not to mention a mormon member has its hand on the massacre.

That aside, the movie has done its job of screen performance. Actors are very affective, the story although fictional, has a realistic feeling to it. And good chemistry amongst all the characters, especially the horse.

The movie is brutal enough, but nothing that could make you cringe. Its not too dramatic as to make you cry. All in all just a good presentation, but not something to be taken seriously about, and will never come close to classics, like The Passion Of Christ.
