#Raid full movie youtube plus#
On the plus side, the film avoids instant romance between Heflin and Bancroft (though they're obviously attracted to each other) and there's no mawkish bonding between the former and Bancroft's son. My only slight criticism was that already voiced by other commentators - the smartness of the Confederate uniforms. A group of Confederate prisoners escape to Canada and plan to rob the banks and set fire to the small town of Saint Albans, Vermont. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.7 and a MetaScore of 48. With Van Heflin, Anne Bancroft, Richard Boone, Lee Marvin. (This contrasts with the way the film "Quantrill's Raiders" greatly underplays the notorious attack on Lawrence.) Also, it would seem, in fact the raiders dropped a lot of the money from the banks. The Great Raid is a 2005 action movie with a runtime of 2 hours and 12 minutes. But compared with Johnson in TSARR, Heflin's conscience is only slightly troubled by the consequences of his actions indeed a web search for "St Albans 1864" suggests that "The Raid" greatly magnifies the arson Heflin's men cause with "Greek Fire" - apparently only one shed was actually burnt down. Both feature a Southern officer working undercover in Northern territory, both feature Boone, and both stars have the first name Van. This film pairs with another, "The Siege at Red River". A good film that moves along at a pleasing rate, helped by a good cast, including a young Lee Marvin, an equally-young Richard Boone before his face became lined (but he still plays a troubled person) and the distinctive John Dierkes (the "Gaunt Man" in "The Red Badge of Courage").
