Review of Union Bound (2019) by Scott W — 24 Apr 2016
Incredible movie!
This movie is about Joseph Hoover and Tom Ryan, both Union soldiers who are fighting to uphold the union, but get captured by Confederate soldiers during a battle. After escaping from a prison, they travel hundreds of miles back to their troops, helped along the way by Jim Young and many other slaves.
The film was made beautifully. John Errington's writing and cinematography are stellar and the acting is magnificent. The directing by Harvey Lowry is top knotch. His eye for everything of the period really brought this film to an unexpected level. The tone and pacing are great. Tank Jones and Randy Wayne are truly standouts. Expect to see great things from these guys.
I expected to see more fighting in a civil war movie, but this film really isn't about that. Don't miss this film.
