not as good as all the hype

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

A little slow getting started, in fact I shut it off, but then decided to continue with it. I am glad that I did. I like a movie when the producers are not afraid to mention the words God or prayer in the movie itself. This movie offers both of those words several times. I loved it when the Native American Grandfather, while using Native methods to treat the sick child, also took the time to talk to the Creator. If you are looking for a movie that you can sit down and watch with your children or grandchildren without having to worry about content or language then this is a very good movie to watch. You might want to have a Kleenex handy, because there is a very touching Miracle or two that happens along the way.

My Dad and I just watched this movie, he's a pretty big fan of westerns like Lonesome Dove. We were confused at the beginning about the relationships of all the people. We finally figured out the main details (two families at odds with each other for various reasons). David Carradine was good and some of the other actors were OK. The main problem we had was about John (Tim Abell). He gets injured but when they cannot find him they just assume he's dead. What's up with that? I would at least want to find the body for a proper burial. Then the families all just decide to hang out for Christmas time dinner. John's wife doesn't even seem too upset - come on she thinks her husband just died! Starting at about 2/3 of the way into the movie my dad and I kept saying to each other "Where's John?". At the very end we got our answer but by then we didn't really even care. It seems like lots of you really liked the movie and I did like the spiritual messages. It is also a nice family movie. I just was a little annoyed with the John issue. Thanks.

Miracle at Sage Creek is a great film! Writer/producer, Thadd Turner and director, James Intveld's attention to period detail is remarkable. This western is set during the 1880's in Wyoming. The filmmaker's give equal time to Native American and White characters. This is truly a family film that creates full and authentic characters that are dealing with overcoming hardship and tragedy. The ensemble cast led by David Carradine and Tim Abell give true and convincing performances. Buck Taylor is a standout as "Buckskin Charlie". The film deals with issues such as faith, pride, acceptance and redemption in a realistic and un-preachy manner, which is refreshing. The film suggests that we are all connected whether you believe in the "Great Spirit" as the Native American played by Wes Studi does or you are a member of the Christian faith. This is a great movie to show your kids.

Thadd Turner is a true western writer. The realism in the film reminds me of Unforgiven. The story reminds me of Shane. The whole feeling of the film from the photography to the music and the acting has that resonance of how it really was back then. Westerns are my favorite type of film and this one is excellent. If you like a good exciting story and if you like westerns, then this one is for you. The casting is great too. You have David Carridine, Michael Parks, Wes Studi, Rance Howard, who turns in a great performance as the Doctor, and believe it or not Buck Taylor from Gunsmoke, and Thadd Turner too! The whole cast turns in excellent performances all around. James Intveld directed and did the music, both an excellent achievement. His directing gave it that real hometown feel. You don't get the feeling the actors are acting like in some movies. The music brought you into the old west. You really get the sense how tough you had to be back then and how hard it was to make ends meet. We take a lot for granted these days, but that's how we started the west always hoping for a miracle.
