KILL CAVALRY

Cinemavixion Review

Christopher Forbes's "Kill Cavalry" plunges viewers into the tumultuous American Civil War, focusing on the controversial figure of U.S. General Hudson Kilpatrick. Dubbed "Kill Cavalry" not for his battlefield prowess, but for the devastating losses inflicted upon his own Federal troops through questionable tactics, Kilpatrick's command is portrayed as a study in strategic blunders. The film, released in 2021 and featuring performances by Jerry Chesser, Brad Owens, and Jezibell Anat, aims to explore the human cost of leadership failures. While the narrative delves into the tactical missteps that led to heavy casualties, the film's reception, as indicated by its IMDb rating, suggests a challenging journey for audiences. "Kill Cavalry" offers a somber look at a lesser-discussed aspect of military history, highlighting how ambition and poor judgment can lead to tragic outcomes on the battlefield.
