Alicia I love this movie so much

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

teban63 ... I did notice that a same scene was used twice in vert two different time & space scenes ... when an "apache" is hidden behind giant rocks shooting/firing (0:36:07) and then again when in distant place from that scene : another "apache" shooted from the very same rocks (1:08:13) ... is akward due to the many places that the film was supposed to be filmed ....

dialog_create I enjoyed the movie, it's good entertainment. I have to compare the movie to older westerns rather than newer movies that try to be super realistic. If you compare this with movies made up through the 1970's then it's good. Somewhere along the line people started demanding more accurate historical movies, and I do appreciate authenticity and accuracy. This movie at least gets me asking questions to find out the real story... isn't that what movies do well in the first place? Those reviewers who criticize the movie as "propaganda" are looking for realism. They are also looking for "propaganda" so they can get upset about "left-wing Hollywood", and forget that movies are first entertainment. This movie is dark and brooding at times and takes you along with it. The only complaint I have is definitely the ending where they have "Victoria" surrounded and he surrendered, his soldiers were kneeling with the rifles above their heads in surrender. All the buffalo soldiers had to do was disarm them and the climactic scene following at the end would never had happened. It made no sense, not because it was "propaganda", it just was a silly ending. But Hollywood is full of silly endings that have no political bent...sorry, I just don't get that twist. Sure the movie makes you think and tries to put you in the shoes and times of the Buffalo soldier and it can go over board, but so do most movies especially military movies where they try to make "heroes" and "villains" out of regular people...just to drive the story. That's what happens here.

8-Foot From the title, I expected a good overview of the Buffalo Soldiers. Instead, we get a drawn out, soap-opera-ish tale of hunting down a single Indian villain. Since I missed the first minute or two of opening credits, this script may have been pure fiction for all I know. As one complaint, there is no mention of John Pershing's (of World War I fame) association with these troops.As could be expected, the wrongs and conflicts from racism are well set forth. Nonetheless, the Buffalo Soldiers, many ex-slaves, proudly risk their lives and stay in the cavalry by choice.The acting is commendable, particularly that of Danny Glover as the central character. Some '90s idioms (the 1990s, that is) find their way into the dialog.Given the title and the general ignorance (myself included) about the Buffalo Soldiers, this tv movie was very disappointing. Surely, these men did a lot more on the frontier than they are credited with here.

parky-2 An interesting tale of the Indian Wars. Glover carries the movie as the taciturn n.c.o. still on the receiving end of racism from so called fellow officers .An Indian renegade is on the loose and the US cavalry need to hunt him down and capture or kill him to make the west a safer place The film is a pleasant way to spend an evening not too challenging or provocative, but compelling and compassionate. The rapport between the troops is perhaps too nineties but in essence it is amusing.An interesting counterpoint to the movie Geronimo where the Indians were less one dimensional
