Great movie and was so when TNT did it for TV. Danny Glover was very good in this part and since I was, and am now a life memeber of the 1st Cavalry Division, I know a lot about the 9th and 10th Cav units who were the Buffalo Soldiers. I mysef served with the Delta Co. 2nd Bat 8th Cav Rgt Abn 1st Air Cavalry Div. Vietnam 68/69, so I love everything Cav, including all the John Wayne Cav movies. We have a steep tradition in the Cav, that goes very deep! God Bless the CAV!!! Nick Donvito.
July 16, 2008Danny Glover gives us just a little incite of what the life of the Buffalo Soldiers of the 10th cavalry was like. Will they survive in this hard land? In the 1800's in Arizona and New Mexico, came a brand new hero Indians called him Buffalo. From prison camps and slavery the Black came to be. He was the hard riding hero of the 10th cavalry. Many of the soldiers wanted to desert. They were tired of the killing, the hatred and the hurt.But, I'm proud they stuck on in there.
February 28, 2008 |  | Great overview of a little known historical event |  |
As a teacher of Tx History, I find this movie to be helpful in dealing with a little known, and politically and socially sensitive topic. It is the story of the black men who joind the US military following the Civil War, and were stationed on the western frontier to take care of the Native problem. The movie explores the confrontation between these two persecuted minority groups, depicting both groups as men of dignity and honor. Reccommended for general history buffs, and those who are interested in black history.

Been trying to find this movie locally (NZ) for ages, there are several DVDs/movies with this title, and I'd seen this once on local TV ages ago. I was not disappointed on arrival of Mr Danny Glover playing the part of a coloured sergeant in a platoon of other coloured soldiers in the US Cavalry fighting the Apache. With all the usual prejudices prominent this platoon does its job. Excellent movie watched it several times already, still as good as I had remembered.
