I stumbled across "The Last Confederate" at Walmart the week it was released and decided to take a gamble and purchased it.
For a truly independent film, this film is exceptional. Granted it won't win any awards because it may not contain the necessary acting "standards." Regardless, it was very refreshing to see a film produced, written, directed and starring such impassioned folks, the ancestors of the title character, Robert Adams. Accurate battle scenes...Fairly authentic details..I especially liked seeing a dead Confederate soldier wearing a "US" belt buckle.
My rating for "The Last Confederate" (out of five):

Im not sure but I could probably give this film the same rating as you did. I was pleasantly surprised to see Mickey Rooney in the film though. The only thing that really bugged me about the movie was too many going back and forward flashes. A few would have been perfect. And as for the battle scenes, I too thought they were well done.
If you liked this movie, you might like: The Colt. I bought this one at of all places: Dollar General-for $5.00. I also first saw this played near Christmas last year on the Hallmark Channel.
