The title "Ride With The Devil" sounds like it would be a pretty scary movie eh? The only scary part was how brutally violent the flick was. The movie is able to find the right mix of action and emotion. Having said that, it is hard to classify what genre this is. Western? Drama? Action? Just as a scene is build-up with action, it switches to being dramatic. You may also feel a bit cheated at the end. The key words are "a bit." The constant changes are done so well with such good acting and such a good script, you really don't care. Hence the key words "a bit."
During the Civil War, two lifelong friends (Maguire, Ulrich) bear witness to their family being killed by Union soldiers. They join a group of rebels known as the Bushwackers that fight then hide.
