Cold Mountain the movie

I watched Cold Mountain on DVD over the weekend. I didn't really know what to expect and I assumed going into it that it was a chic flick set in the Civil War era. Boy was a wrong. It is an interesting film that I think I'll have to watch again to fully absorb. Some of the dialog came off a little odd to me and casting Jude Law was a mistake that distracts from the overall believability of the film. It is worth a rental at least and it does make me interested in reading the book that it is based on.
