The Battle Of Aiken (2005)

An edgy, yet sparkling tale about five quirky strangers whose lives spin in a tailspin of crazy fate one night in a small Florida town. When the charming petty criminal Jason Valentine takes yet another fall, he faces another visit to the county jail. With nothing to lose, Jason gambles his one phone call on chance alone - he randomly dials up a phone number and hopes for the best. What follows is a high energy tale, hilarious and heartwarming about love and redemption, hopes and dreams, cosmic destiny and really big trucks.
Director: Christopher Forbes
Actors: Troy H. Bradley, Tripp Courtney and Darlene Donofrio

Excellent historical drama. Shame they didn't have a bigger budget. Some good action too.

South Carolinian with ancestors that fought in both the Revolutionary War, as well as the War of Northern Aggression . im also a huge history buff. I commend the makers of this film for their attempt at telling the story, but the acting and writing was so dry I couldn’t get past the first 30 minutes. I wanted to, truly wanted to! But it was just sooooo bad…….

One thing for sure I think that there should be something like this but on what I would call the precursor to the bloody battle of Gettysburg and this precursor is the skirmish on June 26th and their was two skirmish’s talking place around Gettysburg Pennsylvania the first one was the skirmish at Marsh Creek where the 35th Virginia cavalry battalion and a brigade of Georgia troops under John Brown Gordon was fighting the 26th Pennsylvania emergency militia and A local cavalry company and fighting in the ranks of the cavalry company was my 4x great uncle William Henry Weikert but also fighting in the cavalry battalion was Private George Washington Sandoe who is often referred to as the first federal casualty at Gettysburg although the battle properly would not start for another few days and the second one is the Skirmish of Bayly’s hill where the remnants of the 26th Pennsylvania emergency militia engage the 17th Virginia cavalry regiment and after the skirmish on June 26th the confederates would March on to York Pennsylvania and the railroad bridge at wrightsville which the confederates were going to cross to get in the rear of Harrisburg

These actors are so monotone. No real expressions. It's like they were forced to act. 😂

Low budget as well as the acting.
