Goofs
The coin found in the deposit box is a Peace Dollar which was minted 1921-1935 though the narrative says that it's a 1864 dollar which would be a Seated Liberty Dollar, very distinctively different from the coin shown.

Oh my, this was awful

I heard a lot of good reviews on this and since it was filmed in the Carolinas, I figured we'd give it a whirl.

The Good: It started off interestingly enough. The mythology concerning the Civil war and the List origins and history was pretty entertaining. The cinematography was top notch and had the feel of a quality production. Malcolm McDowell was little over the top, but then again maybe his character would have been as well. Old south breeding tends to alter one's worldview.

The Bad: Chuck Carrington and Hilarie Burton, who play Renny and Jo, gave uneven performances and might have flourished with better material. The supporting cast ranged from unremarkable to absolutely dreadful. This was Gary Wheeler's first attempt at direction and writing and I get the feeling the job was too large for him. Several character motivations were totally forced as if massive sections of the movie were lost on the cutting room floor.

The Ugly: Late in the movie, the tone completely changed. It flipped into a preachy Christian bent that probably assumed the audience was a deeply religious. I don't have a problem with religious themed movies if the subject mater is presented properly. This wasn't. I was bored.

My best guess is that this movie will be embraced by the same people that enjoyed "Left Behind". For the rest of us, move along, there's nothing here to see.
