Additional InformationDirector 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.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...Visually arresting....[Maguire gives a] sensitive, understated performance..., Sight and Sound - ...A texture of fine-grained observation that brings history to life on the molecular level..., Variety - ...[The film's] widescreen images have a sweeping, sometimes desolate beauty..., Premiere - ...[A] striking, brave picture....Maguire is thrilling as Roedel, whose passage to manhood is faithfully chronicled by Schamus and Lee..., Total Film - ...Worthy and beautifully crafted...

  • Great Civil War Western - Action All The Way

    I've seen this film a couple of times and it's still great fun. Well acted and directed with a great script. Should appeal to Civil War geeks too.

  • A must see film for Civil War buffs.

    Shows another part of the American Civil War, rather than the stereotype battles. deals more with the side of the war from a civilian perspective. Brutal and no doubt very much based in reality. A great film.

  • Quizzy

    It this very good for keeping your watching as it's a great civil war storyline. It's different as its shows the confederacy side and not as usual it's the union army.
