good back-story, and good acting

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I realized how lucky I am by the experiences during the movie. It was definitely worth the pizza, and I am glad I had the opportunity to watch this wonderful movie. The actors were terrific, and I felt they acted as if they were all in real danger. The scenes are just flat out amazing. The scenes in the movie are not predictable at all. I was actually wrong with my guess, and the directors really fooled me. This movie is for any age, and I encourage everyone to take time to watch this with their family or roommates. The kids will love it!!! I hope with a few years there will be a Durango Kids 2 so I can sit down and take the time to watch this movie with my roommates. Whenever I have problems, I just turn to this movie to see how the kids face their adversity. I would recommend this movie to anyone, and also would like to thank Pizza Hut. Thanks!

I liked this movie because it contained no great message, it was a fun adventure. All the actors did a fine job. This picture showed scenes of Durango, Colorado to Silverton train ride on a narrow gage rail road. This mountain country is some of the prettiest in the entire United States. I lived in this area when I was about the age of the children of the movie, while I didn't have an adventure quite like theirs I did hunt and explore this beautiful country, including some of the mines that do exist at the town of Silverton and surrounding mountains at an elevation of over ten thousand feet. This would be a place for one to go and take their children for an adventure, possibly, even a little magic.

This movie is a wonderful fun film that showcases the talents of the young actors in the film. It has a wonderful script and the action sequences are chilling. Durango Kids reminds me of all my adventures as a child.

I enjoyed this film because it reminded me of the stories I used to love when I was a kid. There was plenty of action, a couple of fist fights, the kids got captured by the crooks and then turned the tables on the villains who got their just deserts. Reminds me of the old "ripping Yarns" stories. The acting by the kids was natural and seamless - showed a quality of training. Well done! I'd like to see more stories like this for youngsters. Many childrens films pull the punches to be politically correct and lose something of the magic of story telling. This one didn't make that mistake. I'm surprised i haven't heard of it before this video release. I haven't got any real negative comments to make - for what it was, the film was well done.
