Great movie...but foul language
"The Colt" is an interesting movie with good actors. It has a great story. However, I threw my copy out with the garbage, because the language was so foul. Why do movie producers insist on bad language when the story would have been great to share with my grandchildren? After previewing the movie, I found that the actors took God's name in vain, and I could not with clear conscience show this movie to my children. I will be happy to see the day when the customer who buys a movie can edit the language. Then, if we do not like the bad language we can edit those foul words out of the movie and still enjoy the movie. For anyone like myself who finds foul language offensive, they would not enjoy this movie. It needs to be made into a film again; same story and actors, but without the foul language.

Worth a Look
I spied this DVD at a local vintage stock store and thought ok..I'll give it a look. I had zero expectations and in fact expected that it would be too hokie to sit through. Wow...was I wrong. This little movie was really pretty good. The story is pretty basic, Union Cavalryman's horse has a colt and calamities ensue as the trooper tries to keep himself, his mare, and his colt alive and out of rebel hands in the maze of the Wilderness Campaign.
The production values are good (not great) but given the available budget very acceptable. Now I am a stickler for detail in my Civil War flicks and doggone it British Columbia won't ever be Virginia (and really no place will ever be as special as Virginia...but I digress). The uniforms and other aspects of the Union and Confederate troops are pretty good. I am sure some re-enactors would pick up on some flaws, but my untrained eye did not pick up on too many other than a Revolutionary War era cannon being pushed around in the opening scenes. For a movie taking place in 1864...this is a bit of a gaff. It's forgivable for 1861...but not in the 1864 Wilderness.
The story itself is a gem. It flows nicely and there are some surprises here and there, which keep you interested. As others have indicated it is a story filled with some sadness, but I enjoyed the way in which it was handled and the ending was satisfying for me.
So a movie that I gave so little hope...turned out to really impress me. So saddle up and keep low...there's rebs in the woods.
