100The best movie I've seen this year.

80Ang Lee's dark and sober fable might be the most interesting and least dogmatic view of the Civil War to wend its way into the multiplexes.
-
60A meditation on the racial and class conflicts at the heart of the American character.

30The plot is largely a series of excuses for one-liners expertly delivered by Maguire, making all the hatred, maiming, and killing seem like digressions.
