Review - Virginia City
Proving once again the theory that the more famous actors there are in a movie you've never heard of, the more likely it is to stink. About 20 minutes from the end, the plot stopped making any kind of sense. Kerry finds Irby's wagon train as it's being attacked by Murrell's outlaws. He and his men, including some uniformed Union soldiers, immediately join the Confederates and are welcomed into the group and even trusted with the whereabouts of the gold. It also made no sense that Kerry was willing to die rather than reveal the location of the gold. They tried to make him look noble, but he just looked stupid. The war was almost over (and he knew it), so why keep gold from his own government and pretend to hand it over to a South that no longer existed? Also, Humphrey Bogart began the movie with no accent but got increasingly "Mexican" as the movie went along. Very weird.
