Product Description
Ride With The Devil follows four people who are fighting for truth and justice amidst the turmoil of the American Civil War. Director Ang Lee takes us to a no man's land on the Missouri/Kansas border where a staunch loyalist (Skeet Ulrich), an immigrant's son (Tobey Maguire), a freed slave (Jeffrey Wright) and a young widow (Jewel) form an unlikely friendship as they learn how to survive in an uncertain time, in a place without rules and redefine the meaning of bravery and honor.

Great period pictures make you feel as if you've stepped into another era, heard its language, breathed its spirit, and come away with a fresh perspective on that time as well as your own. Ride with the Devil is one of those special films--why wasn't it more widely embraced by reviewers and filmgoers? Did it rely too much on our patience for slow accumulation of unforced rhythms and meanings (as opposed to The Patriot, which "moved" audiences with cattle-prod simplicity and manipulation)? Ride with the Devil--smart, handsome, tenderly awed by how individual lives get ambushed by history--is ripe for rediscovery.
The Civil War of battlefields and plantation houses is nowhere to be seen here. Instead we see the war as an improvised and largely blundering but very bloody feud among neighbors in the border state of Missouri. In this bucolic war zone--more than a little reminiscent of the Balkans in the late 1990s--the Taiwanese-born director Ang Lee (Sense and Sensibility) traces the destinies of several young Southern bushwhackers (guerrilla fighters) as they experience violence, the seasons, and different kinds of love. Skeet Ulrich draws the aristocratic glamour role (and top billing), but he's overshadowed by Tobey Maguire as a first-generation American, the magnificent Jeffrey Wright (a shameful oversight at Oscar time) as a freed slave fighting beside his former master, and singer Jewel in a very natural acting debut as the young widow who graces all their lives. The title The Birth of a Nation was already taken, but by the end of this movie you feel it would have applied here. -- Richard T. Jameson

Pros:
• An accurate and deeply unflattering depiction of Pro-Confederate guerrillas: These are not the honorable chivalric Moonlight & Magnolias Southern archetype. The Bushwhackers use the surprise of hit and run tactics or subterfuge by dressing in Union uniforms in order strike at enemies. Regardless of whether they are soldiers, Jayhawkers, or unarmed civilians that are suspected of being Union sympathizers. The torture and murder of prisoners is also commonplace. The men are loyal to each other but petty slights can turn into blood feuds quickly, such as when a member refuses to gun down several unarmed people during the Lawrence Massacre. The Bushwhackers are also appropriately prejudiced for the time and place. Harsh anti-immigrant sentiment permeates the Bushwhackers ranks and the main character Jake Roedel is referred to as "Dutchy" because of his immigrant heritage. The racism against black people is realistically shown with the regular use of racial slurs against Holt, when Black men are specifically targeted during the Lawrence Massacre, and when the Bushwhackers make bets with human scalps the scalps of Black men are worth more. The Lawrence Massacre is depicted in excruciating detail as a wanton orgy of violence with looting, murder, and destruction of property.
• An extremely loyal adaptation of Daniel Woodrell's novel Woe to Live On: For whatever it's worth, the Theatrical and Director's Cut of Ride with the Devil hue very close to the source material. Certain events are placed closer together and Holt's story ends differently (for the better I think), but aside from that you are getting an extremely similar experience to the book.
• An Anti-racism and Anti-slavery message: The Bushwhackers are depicted as blatantly racist towards one of their own comrades Daniel Holt, they gamble with human scalps and consider the scalps of Black men worth more, and intentionally target Black men during the Lawrence Massacre. One unnamed Bushwhacker tries to go after Holt before Jake intervenes. The film also has a low opinion of the institution of slavery. When Jake is reading from a stolen bag of letters, he comes across one that decries the cruelty and hypocrisy of slavery. Holt's character arc also has an anti-slavery bent. Holt scouts and fights with the Bushwhackers out of personal loyalty to another member George Clyde. Holt confides to Jake after Clyde's death that being Clyde's friend wasn't all that different from being his n-word and that now he feels free. At the end of film Holt declares to Jake that he is leaving to search for his mother that was sold into slavery and plans to start searching in Texas and bids Jake a fond farewell. In spite of both of the aforementioned points, there are still Lost Causers that try to use Ride with the Devil to prop up the myth of the Black Confederate which still baffles me to this day.
• The character arc of Jake Roedel: Jake's point of view and growth as a character forms the crux of Ride with the Devil. Jake becomes a Bushwhacker after his friend Jack Bull Chiles family members are killed by Jayhawkers. Jake fights with the Bushwhackers out of personal loyalty and revenge even though it's obvious he disapproves of their more unseemly methods. It's during the attack on the undefended Lawrence Kansas, the wholesale murder of its citizens, a Bushwhacker trying to go after Holt for being Black, and Jake being reprimanded for refusing to kill several unarmed elderly people that Jake decides the cause he is fighting for is not an honorable one. Shortly after Jake and Holt abandon the Pro-Confederate guerrillas.
• The romance between Jake and Sue Lee: Not a lot to say about this other than Tobey Maguire and Jewel both give excellent performances and have good romantic chemistry.
• The symbolic death of Pitt Mackeson: After Jake and Holt leave the Bushwhackers and the war behind, they both encounter the antagonistic Pitt Mackeson one last time. Mackeson has become even more erratic after the deaths of almost all his comrades and declares to Jake he will ride into the nearby Union occupied town even though he is a wanted man and will certainly be killed. I honestly think Mackeson's death is symbolic of those that clung to the wicked lost cause of the Confederacy even after the war was lost.
Cons:
• The historical inaccuracy of Daniel Holt: The character of Daniel Holt is likely the most controversial aspect of "Ride with the Devil". The author of Woe to Live On took inspiration for Holt's character from a Black man named John Noland who rode with Quantrill's Raiders during the Civil War. Unfortunately Woodrell didn't read up on Noland's life beyond that because he would have realized that Noland was a slave and obviously didn't get a vote as to where he went or with whom. Noland was also never armed at any point. I stated in the Pros section above that I honestly really like Holt's character and arc but to the uninformed person with poor media literacy Holt's presence can potentially help propagate the myth of the Black Confederate. Read Kevin M. Levin's book, Searching for Black Confederates: The Civil War’s Most Persistent Myth for more information on this subject.
• Jack Bull Chiles conversation with Mr. Evans: Jack has a conversation with Mr. Evans at dinner during the film that seemingly props up some Confederate Mythmaking that the North was forcing its beliefs on the South and that the South didn't care how other people lived just as long as the South was left alone. This notion is demonstrably false, especially when you consider how pro-slavery Southerners willed the Fugitive Slave Act into existence that actively imposed slavers legal rights onto people who hated slavery in the North. This whole conversation is bizarre because pretty much everything else in the film (and the book) goes against this line of thinking.
Aside from a few flaws I would consider Ride with the Devil (1999) one of the four quintessential American Civil War films that have to be seen on the subject. The other three are Glory (1989), Lincoln (2012), & Free State ofJones (2016). This is a must see film and quite possibly Ang Lee's masterpiece.

This film came out all the way back in 1999 yet the Criterion Collection version of this film rivals modern-day 4K upscales in terms of the film’s visual and auditory quality! Most Blu-Ray versions of “older” films that I have are annoyingly grainy and just seem to be glorified DVD releases. That was definitely not the case with this Blu-Ray version of the film which is leaps and bounds ahead of its DVD version.
This is a *must-have* for fans of the film and it’s even worth an upgrade if you already have the VHS/DVD version of the film! It’s an entirely different experience with Ang Lee’s sensational camerawork and Mychael Danna’s timeless score being taken to the next level!
Not to mention that this also happens to be the original Director’s cut of the film which also comes with new interviews and a Director’s commentary recorded a decade after the film’s release!
Now, on to my *SPOILER FREE* review the movie:
The final Civil War film of the 20th century was certainly the greatest! I've already mentioned this before but Ang Lee's love of nature was truly the cinematic highlight of this film! If you're into escapism, then this film will certainly throw you right in with Phil Roedel, Jack Bull Chiles, Daniel Holt, and the rest of the gang!
This film isn't set in one week or even one month but over the span of a few years! You can really feel the dynamics of the characters' relationships change as they get to know one another better or when the unpredictable Civil War thrusts them into intimate situations that none were ready for.
There is a heavy emphasis on character development in this film and how the Civil War slowly but surely affects their outlooks on life but never once is it boring as it has just as much wonderfully choreographed action to compensate!
Despite being told from the perspective of the Confederacy, this film has a brilliant and bold motif for the Bushwhackers during its action scenes (Confederate militia) and historically accurate traditional southern music for the rest of its scenes. Because after all, every group are the heroes of their own story!
Unlike most films that deal with the topic of racism, this film is not too blunt nor is it flat-footed as it deals with a controversial issue. This film implicitly shows the audience throughout the film how merely being exposed to a member of another race can ultimately shift your perspective of that race by getting to know them as a fellow human being.
This is wonderfully demonstrated by Ang Lee's use of Holt (emotionally played by Jeffrey Wright) as an emerging protagonist. He is originally introduced as the sidekick of a secondary character before an arbitrary series of events thrusts him into the forefront of the rebellion. You'll have to watch this film for yourself, but overall it is just superb subtext and visual storytelling that skillfully conveys this film's messages and themes.
Every single performance here is absolutely phenomenal too, and it made me realize why Tobey Maguire is such a compelling lead actor despite his usually mild-mannered and shy demeanor. Even at the age of 23 (as he was at the time of this film's release), Tobey is able to convey a plethora of emotions just through his facial expressions, particularly through his luminescent blue eyes. Uncertainty, fear, happiness, confusion, and anger are all immediately knowledgable on his face whether it be on the passionate or subtle spectrum of emotion.
Overall, the best war film I have ever watched and a film that I would recommend to anyone!

Top reviews from other countries
"On the Western Frontier of Missouri, the American Civil War was fought not by armies, but by neighbours. Informal gangs of local Southern Bushwhackers fought a bloody and desperate Guerrilla war against the occupying Union Army and pro-Union Jayhawkers. Allegiance to either side was dangerous. But it was more dangerous still to find oneself caught in the middle"
Made for $38 million and intended to be a sweeping epic for the summer blockbuster crowd, Ride with the Devil was a considerable financial flop. With a limited release both in America and abroad, the financial figures are hardly surprising. More so considering it was given next to no promotion by the distributors. Factor in a little controversy about the events featured in the story, some cuts made by the studio (Lee didn't have final cut) and a delay in home release formats because the distributor incredibly wanted Jeffrey Wright's presence removed from the cover art! Well you would be forgiven for thinking that the film has to be something of a stinker. Not so say I.
Part rites of passage drama, part reflective war movie, Ang Lee's film is a grand film viewing experience. Dealing as it does with the often forgotten part of the war down on the Missouri/Kansas border, where Lee also shoots on location, film manages to be both savage and lyrical in equal measure. The savagery comes with the fights, bloody, frenetic and high on potency, while the lyricism comes with the human relationships, internal conflicts and the political awareness of the men (boys) fighting for their cause. All given deft treatment by Schamus, whose screenplay contains crisp period dialogue and a narrative correctly showing that this part of the war was not just driven by racist Dixie's hell bent on revenge, violent lust and political allegiance, but often for family, land and rights. Picture is at pains to let us know the youth of the main characters, ramming home the point of boys forced to become men, killing machines, very quickly. Case in point, the culmination of the violence in the film that comes by way of the Lawrence Massacre, a tragic and upsetting slaughter that saw 180 people murdered under the leadership of a vengeful William Quantrill (John Ales). Lee and Schamus aren't interested in showing heroism in this particular war, they show it as futile, nasty and it leaves the taste of bile in the throat.
From here the film slows considerably, as the lead characters withdraw from the action of war, to awakenings and friendships forming. It's here where Lee is at his best. No great director of action, as evidenced by the previously mentioned Lawrence Massacre; which lacks the cutting edge to really grab us by the throat and never let go, but for human interest aspects and bucolic scenes with characters framed within, Lee owes film fans absolutely nothing. The latter of which he is aided considerably by Elmes' widescreen photography. Ulrich and pop star Jewel nicely handle their parts, he puts a confident swagger into Jack Bull Chiles, she is tender and unassuming in the pivotal female role of Sue Lee Shelley. Caviezel gives Black John Ambrose a brooding menace, while Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is on overdrive as sadistic loony Pitt Mackeson. But it's with Maguire and Wright that the acting plaudits go. Maguire has arguably never been better, he gives Jake Roedel an effective sensitivity as a virginal boy receives a violent initiation into manhood. Wright is sublime, said to be one of his favourite performances, Wright as freed slave Daniel Holt is the heart beat of the film. Conveying most of the good traits available to man, Holt fights not just out of loyalty to his friend George Clyde (Baker), but to gain ultimate catharsis in is life. It's a beautiful measured turn from Wright, and it deserves more appreciative attention.
The last third of it may be too talky for some, and a couple of dangling narrative threads left unanswered stop it from being a masterpiece. But it's close to being just that, a savage, beautiful and lyrical movie. The stupid studio execs had no idea: Putz's. 9/10
Much as I revere the first two on that list, Ride With The Devil might be his supreme masterpiece so far, a lengthy film (though never outstaying its welcome) of the American Civil War, with a motley band of young people caught up in it, some on the `wrong` side, or on no particular side at all.
The film brings home to the viewer what a messy, dangerous and painful time it must have been, with whole families wiped out, their homes razed to the ground, but what the film eloquently shows too is how it wasn`t simply a case of "Unionist good, Confederate bad", in a story involving mostly southerners on the periphery of the war, never knowing when the next attack from the North is going to arrive, and having to deal with the firebrands in their own midst, none more unpredictable than the gaunt, psychopathic character played, brilliantly, by Englishman Jonathan Rhys Meyers (odd but inspired casting).
All the cast work wonders. Tobey Maguire - an actor I`ve found all too resistible at times - does his best work here, while singer Jewel is subtle and touching as a teenage war widow whose favours are bestowed on more than one of the peripatetic band of men. She surprised me the first time I saw this film, and she still does. A natural, soulful and even witty performance.
Skeet Ulrich, James Cavaziel and Simon Baker are all just fine, and our own Tom Wilkinson has a brief role as one of the many patriarchs who take the men in and give them bed and board.
As the enigmatic slave Holt, who rides with the band, Jeffrey Wright is stunning. This is a performance that should have been nominated at least (the film was all but ignored on release, which is something of a tragedy; one hopes as many people as possible are discovering it on DVD). His final scene is beautifully acted, and, finally free, one longs for him to be successful in finding his ma...
America looks ravishing, the scenes of violence are necessarily realistic and bloody, while the domestic interludes meld with the outdoor scenes seamlessly, giving this great film the rare feeling of real lives being lived in a real place, a real landscape.
Ang Lee surpassed himself with this one.
Do see it.
