The movie stars Buster Keaton (The Navigator, Three Ages), Marion Mack, Glen Cavender (The Nevada Buckaroo, The Cook and Other Treasures), Frederick Vroom (The Navigator), and Frank Barnes.
The plot is Keaton having been rejected by the Confederate army goes on a one man raid to get his train back, prove his worthyness to his girlfriend and rescue her from the Confederate army.
I read a few reviews on Netflix. I seem like Im the only one that likes the music in this film. I think it was done maybe in the 90's (not origional at least). I thought the music was good but I was the only one.
I think this movie is perfect for the silent movie age. Its plot, unlike Metropolis, is suited for silent films. Metropolis is an idea movie that needes more "lines". This movie is an action film that I think can go up aganst any movie from today and totally hold its own. There is no question that this movie deserves to be on any top movie list.
It may of been one of the most expensive movies to make at the time. It may not of been well received, like Its a Wonderful Life, but its worthy of people seeing.
Im rating this movie as a solid B. I lost focus towards the end, maybe because Im tired but is close to an A.
