I have rarely seen such poor acting, with dense text from a third-rate play. I still can't believe Parker Stevenson wanted to work on this film. Wast of Money and Time.

First off, I picked this DVD up for a DOLLAR at the Dollar Tree ... and I feel ripped off. I paid TOO MUCH. Oh Parker Stevenson I know you were never an A list star and your fame mostly came from Hardy Boys but my gosh WHY??? From the Doctor you could tell was trying to keep from laughing in some of his lines, that were meant to be serious ... the way some were having such a hard obvious time keeping from looking at the camera... my 85 year old father was laughing at how ridiculous this movie was, I guess now thinking about the massive belly laughs he and I shared watching... I guess I didn't over pay.. for sure it was worth the dollar for that laugh ... and the death .. an arm shot off .. and plops off like a bad horror movie from the 70s LOL LOL oh gosh ... I wasn't expecting quality but the acting was horrible ... the camera I swear they strapped a camcorder on a horse ... oh oh oh ... best acting in the movie .. the horses they did an amazing job .. they acted like horses and the dog did pretty good at playing a dog also. ... ah yeah ... I would say watch it just to laugh ... but it's more painful than funny.

Well, given the very low rating that this 2019 Western have been getting on IMDb, I must admit that I wasn't particularly thrilled about watching it. But still, it was a movie that I hadn't already seen before, plus it was centered around the American Civil War, so of course I had to watch it. And believe you me, this movie was bad from an entertainment perspective. There was no red thread throughout the course of the entire movie, and everything felt like it was just a compilation of randomly shot scenes that were put together to make a movie. And it beats me what writer and director Christopher Forbes was thinking here with that approach to the movie. Surely, someone must have stopped at a point along the way and asked "Sir, why is there no coherency to what we are doing?" The storyline was just utter rubbish. As I just mentioned above, there is not coherency to the storyline. It felt like I was watching a selection of endlessly random scenes. As for the acting in the movie, well let's just say that the acting performances were dubious at best. So you should not expect to see any grand performances to match those seen in the 1993 "Gettysburg" or the 1989 "Glory". The cutting and editing of the movie was just atrocious, and it felt like something performed on a high school amateur level. Yup, it was that bad. What worked for the movie, however, was the costumes and the props. That was definitely something worth watching. But sadly, that was essentially all that "American Confederate" had going for it. That and the movie's cover, which was the reason why I picked up the movie. If you enjoy movies that are set in the American Civil War, then you might want to skip on this movie, because it is a mess and a waste of time. I am rating "American Confederate" a generous two out of ten stars. I managed to sit through it, but this was an ordeal to get through, and I wasn't entertained nor enjoying what director Christopher Forbes served.

It's like watching a community play filmed by someone's nephew with a video camera. Terrible edits, flubbed lines and flat deliveries. Parker Stevenson as General Sherman? And one totally unexpected graphic, violent death. Don't bother.

Over the years I have watched a good number of war movies, incl. Civil War flicks like Gettysburg, Glory, Andersonville, The Blue and the Gray etc. This is absolutely at the bottom of the pile, and I gave it a one. Please, Mr. Forbes, producers, and most of the actors, with all due respect find a new line of work, maybe anime, but not pseudo reality. The other review I read I agree with, about the bullet wound, lame field hospital, etc. I noticed over 3 campaigns and a couple or more years the surgeon's apron never changed, same exact blood spatter. And a couple tents? No other personnel? I mean really? Couldn't you get some reenactors to volunteer on a low budget film? The actors just kind of recited their lines. In one scene 4 or 5 soldiers all had identical appearing wounds/blood on their heads. Seemed hoakie. Some of the cinematography/ special takes were really lame. I forced myself to watch most it, just to see how bad it would get. Luckily it was on my computer so I fast forwarded so as not to waste an inordinate amount of time. Avoid this movie and get one of the above mentioned ones or anything else, should be better.

I've seen elementary school plays that contain better acting. At several points in the movie, actors flub their lines. It's blatantly obvious, and no attempt was made to edit them out.

If far-right Klansmen (now members of the Sons of the Confederacy) working at the conspiracy loving newspaper, the Augusta Chronicle wrote and produced a film on skewed views of the Civil War, this would be it. The film centers mostly on Confederate Captian RL Chessman (with a potbelly) as he goes from believing it would be a short victorious war to attempting to keep his son from joining. There is also a James Peabody who marches with Sherman who appears to have certain business connections that were not well developed. The Southerners were all gentlemen who were all polite while the Yankees were all cruel drunks. From what I can tell, both Peabody and Chessman were fictional composites. The acting and sound were bad. The Yankees has Southern accents too. At about 59 minutes into the film, you can see a microphone shadow in a nighttime scene, upper left. Not worth the time. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Watched 'American Confederate'. Terrible movie. It tries to focus on a rebel captain of Hampton's Legion and a Union officer-Captain Falstaff of the 2nd Indiana Cavalry. The rebel captain is shown to be aggressive yet caring while Falstaff is painted as a butcher by shooting rebel wounded and prisoners. This would make for a simple plot, these two officers finding and clashing with one another on various battlefields that could turn into a vendetta. Except the two characters don't really cross paths in the movie other than Falstaff shooting two prisoners of Hampton's Legion at the beginning. It largely drops Falstaff from the movie. When he does it is random. In fact, the two officers don't confront each other at the end for a final duel. From there the film just meanders from character to character doing something, but not driving a coherent plot. There's mention of a captured wagon train, but its quickly forgotten. The capture of Atlanta and its burning, but we don't see it other than a glow on the horizon. The major problem with this movie was its lack of a coherent plot. Instead it just feels like a series of vignettes poorly tied together as many of these scenes don't compliment the next scene. Perhaps a major rewrite to the script is in order. You could have Falstaff and the rebel captain, I don't remember his name-that's how bad it was, set during the Siege of Atlanta. Falstaff is sent to intercept a Confederate train loaded with supplies bound for Atlanta. The rebel captain is tasked to guard it. You can have these two officers challenging each others wits and discipline in many encounters. Since Falstaff is shown to be a butcher, you can have him threaten or even execute prisoners if the rebels don't surrender, which they would refuse. And the movie can end with the train approaching the outskirts of Atlanta and one final attempt is made to destroy it. The train can make it into the city and helps the defenders hold out for four more months or it can be destroyed necessitating the decision to evacuate Atlanta. Either scenario would work. It would be a simple plot but a coherent plot. Other production problems: The battle of "Gettysburg" is shown with Falstaff ordering the evacuation of a hospital filled with Union wounded-except there are no wounded shown and the 2nd Indiana Cavalry, Falstaff says he's with, wasn't at Gettysburg. They were in the west for the Tullahoma Campaign. Also, the hospital is shown to be in the same position for Atlanta and the end of the war. In 2 years, it never moved! The movie states that just after the battle of Resaca, Atlanta was captured and burned. It wasn't. It held for 4 more months. The last is General Sherman. He is shown on the cover. With the name 'American Confederate' and his image, one can be confused as to its meaning. Perhaps they mean General Sherman is a rebel by breaking the normal conventions of warfare of the time by going to the heart of the South. But the movie is not about him, really at all. In fact, he only appears in the movie for, perhaps, two scenes totaling five minutes. So it's misleading as to whom the 'American Confederate' is.
