Review of: Cold Mountain

4/5 (minimum 1)

by tom on 05 Mar 2007

This is the kind of film that if it manages to get you, then it really puts you through the wringer. It's hard not to be got when faced with male lead Jude Law's character Inman desperately trying to make it home from the civil war to Cold Mountain and Nicole Kidman's Ada.

The people he encounters on the way ensure there's some story to the journey itself, and back at the ranch Renee Zellweger's Ruby provides some light relief. However, this film is all about whether he'll make it home or not, and you have to be patient to find out how it concludes.

None of the performances really grabbed me; the tension is the star of this film, set against some beautiful scenery very well shot.
