Less like a peering examination of the turbulent political environment than a reenactment of a Ken Burns documentary-or a museum tour.

Rating: B- --
For this audience, Ron Maxwell's film will prove entertaining and though-provoking, at the very least. For the rest, it is unlikely to provide much dramatic sustenance.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
There's a good story to be told somewhere in here, but they just couldn't get at it, choosing to stretch out and suffocate what good material they had, resulting in a bland and tedious tale that would fail to engage even the most avid history buff.

Rating: 2/5 --
Though the tale, based on a novel by Harold Frederic, remains relevant to our time, the film is too self-conscious and tedious for the message it delivers.

Maxwell and Kauffman merit praise for acknowledging historical complexity, but the film's moral and aesthetic limitations keep Copperhead from entering this realm.

I wish "Copperhead" were better, because it tells a story we haven't seen before, and creates a world that films have rarely shown us.

A work every bit as turgid and baldly sentimental as the centerpiece lecture at a convention of historical reenactors.

Product Description:
Billy Campbell, Angus Macfadyen, and Peter Fonda star in this Civil War drama adapted from Harold Frederic's novel THE COPPERHEAD, and directed by Ronald F. Maxwell (GETTYSBURG, GODS AND GENERALS). Set in the fall of 1862, the story details the hardships endured by an upstate New York farmer branded a "Copperhead" by his government and his neighbors for believing that the war was futile, and advocating that the Northern states negotiate a peace treaty with the South.
