Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

guyzradio This is a unique film in that acting ability is inversely proportional to where the actor is ranked in the cast. Trace Adkins' bio is extremely heavy on his singing career, which ought to tell you his strengths do not lie in his acting ability. His performance as Nate Reed is consistently flat, one dimensional, and loud -- seems the sound mixer cranked up the mic volume for each of his lines. The unhinged marshal's female sidekick (a fetching blond) is equally one dimensional, but just plain evil; the mix of her looks and personal qualities strains the imagination. Story-wise, you can almost predict the next scene based on where you are...almost. We have a few of the "Three weeks before," "One week later," etc. helper screens that serve no purpose other than confuse you. However, about 10 years pass between when "the boys" have a shootout with the marshal and his mate, and Nate Reed is reunited with his wife long thought to have been killed in the battle. They now have a son about 10 years old (she was pregnant at the time of the shoot-out), yet nobody else has aged, and the wife looks better than ever. Perhaps most puzzling is the last few minutes of the movie, when the final showdown occurs and the bad vanquish the even badder. The good marshals show up to apprehend the bad marshal & company, and the scene cuts to Nate Reed leaving church with the family, he and his remaining stage-robber buddy now full-fledged law men. Crops are saved, nobody remembers, and all is forgiven. The more I think about it, the few stars I can give.

doumite-12613 Alright, I love western movies and when I saw who the stagecoach driver was I was pretty optimistic (Kim Coates). However, the writing was poor and the acting lacked realism. I only made it 23 minutes which is after the first major shootout in the movie. Trace Adkins character takes a bullet in the shoulder and he proceeds to stand there and do nothing...they escape the house without anyone following even though they claimed there were 6 deputies outside (you never see them) and then that night Trace pulls the bullet out of his shoulder in about 3 seconds with a knife blade (which comes back to view with no blood on it) at this point I was done.

Tony Heck "There's a man coming from and he aims to bury you." Nathaniel Reed (Adkins) lived the life of a stagecoach robber and was successful. After taking down a large score him and his band decide to go their separate ways and live straight. Years later his past comes back to haunt him, and Calhoun (Coates) a former victim turned US Marshall is bent on revenge. In recent years most westerns have been what I call the $5 Westerns, meaning that the movies seem to be made on a budget of $5. This one had higher quality, not a ton, but enough. The thing this really had going for it though was that it was good. Surprisingly good. The movie isn't all that original or amazing, but compared to the recent crop of B-westerns this is easily one of the best. The acting is what you would expect but the story is actually well developed and interesting enough for you to stay interested in. The one down fall of this movie was the time jumping. The movie went from past to future to past to present and it was overly confusing. Some of the events didn't seem to line up, but other than that this is defiantly worth watching. Overall, one of the better westerns lately and one that I liked a lot more than I expected to. I surprisingly give this a high B.

jostannie Well as there were no reviews I started to watch this film as I like the genre. I'm generally very tolerant reviewing movies and was prepared to give it a chance. However after 10 minutes I could give no more! The acting is pretty naff and the shooting scenes (at least those I saw) were pretty poorly done. I usually sit through really crap movies just to see if they get better, but there was no way this looked like it was going to improve. It looks more like a cheap TV movie. Give it a go if you must but 10 minutes was all I could watch.
