Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Highly Overrated But Still Good

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

This film has the worst script, worst acting I have ever seen. I could only take 10 minutes before shutting it off.What I find even worse than the movie itself is that the DVD cover boasts that it is in the tradition of High Noon and Dances with Wolves and soon to be a classic. Even though I only lasted 10 minutes a blind person could spot flaws in the set. The dance hall saloon was lit up as bright as the Las Vegas strip even though it is supposedly lit by oil lanterns. I have a collection of over 600 westerns and I can tell you this one is NOT part of it. Save your money and especially your time and avoid this movie.

The Showdown. I will pit this Western against any other movie world wide that cost $100,000 USD to produce. I have read complaints about the sound of the guns and the cleanliness of the saloon. Please! give me a break this movie was filmed 100% in Central Illinois not on some multi million dollar sound stage. Every outdoor scene was filmed outdoors (OMG what a novel idea). Real horses not some special trained stunt horses. Every actor did his or her own stunts. Granted it may not have been the best western ever made and some of the acting sucked. But the men and women that acted in it never claimed to be Hollywood actors. I dare any of the complainers that ragged on this movie to make a better one for the same money. The fact that none of the actors have received more then a copy of the movie in exchange for their performances doesn't change the facts that each one put in a lot of hard work creating this film. I bought it after seeing it. I am very proud of a Film made in little old Peoria.

I recently hired this unbelievably bad 'movie' from the video shop. I love Westerns. This attempt is absolutely dreadful. Incredibly bad acting all round, atrocious script, horrendous direction and a total waste of time and effort. Another reviewer praised this mess as a 'great amateur' attempt. The dude who wrote that must be a member of the director's family! Avoid this movie at all costs, at the video shop, in the $2 bin, passed on for free......whatever! The goose who wrote the 'review/opinion' on the front cover should immediately surrender his media membership card. He must be blind and deaf! Comparing this tragedy to 'High Noon' and 'Dances With Wolves' is a travesty of cinematic justice.

This was a wonderful western, with a very sweet love story mixed right in. The characters were believable in their roles, and did a great job with sincerity. I have always loved westerns, and lately there hasn't been very many western movies coming out. These days just about every new movie coming out is a horrible blood and guts horror movie that I totally don't care to see, so you bet it is nice to see a great western pop up with lots of beautiful horses and scenery accompanied by incredibly great music. This is a real-good, feel-good movie, and you know there hasn't been very many of those out as of late. Check it out, you'll be glad you did. There is nothing better to make for an enjoyable evening than watching a movie such as this. Well done everyone, well done!
