You won't be disappointed!

Really Surprised!

Absolutely the worst movie.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

In my past user comments I've written for the IMDb, I have warned readers about movies made by the studio called The Asylum. Now I'm here to warn you about another studio, Barnholtz Entertainment. Like The Asylum, anything coming from them is to be avoided at all costs, including this movie. I admit that I only lasted about twenty minutes before giving up, but those twenty minutes were so awful I couldn't see the movie getting any better. There were modern-looking buildings, absolutely awful cinematography made worse by obviously being compressed for the DVD, terrible acting, cheap-looking sets (I admit I did laugh at how small the saloon was, however), and really bad writing. Even if you love westerns like I do, you'll find this backyard production torture to sit through.

The movie is not bad, don't get me wrong. Especially for an independent low budget film. So let's start with the good things: the cast was good, with solid character work; I liked the camera with its brownish western scenes and apparently the director made a good job, too. Unfortunately the plot had too many weird moments to make the movie overall enjoyable. *Spoiler* Why would a person start a brawl with a bystander/friend and risk getting shot, only to get into the jailhouse, when he could have walked right into the very same jailhouse by simply using the door? Why would you steal a horse from your mate instead of stealing it from an enemy, when you are about to be chased by that enemy? Why would you meet at the town square with your enemy, then dissolve again to start a gun fight, instead of starting the gun fight right at the town square? Why would a Sheriff wait for several hours to start a manhunt, instead of shooting your back when you leave the town, when he had the chance? And if he indeed did wait for hours, why would it take more than a day to catch up when the Sheriff had a gang on horses and good scouts, and the fugitive had two people on one horse? The last scene was so weird I honestly could not understand. All possible explanations that come to my mind are much more difficult and dangerous and costly than simply getting a new hair cut or crossing the state line to avoid being followed or found. */Spoiler off*So all in all a nice try, but needs better screenwriters.

After reading the other comments about this film, I couldn't help but write something. I'll have to admit that I didn't notice the power lines, modern fences, and satellite dish at first. I don't watch the scenes that closely. Those who said the actors did a good job, however... what are you smoking!?! First of all, they didn't have much to work with, because the script was horrible - way too wordy. Other than that, Steve Savage and Bruce Isham (who is probably the writer/director's dad) couldn't act worth a penny. Both overacted worse than you could imagine. The only possible reasons anyone would say that the acting was good is either because Jarret LeMaster didn't overact like the others or they thought Michelle Acuna was hot. The only reason I rented this was because I had just watched another independent western, "Shadowheart," which was pretty good. Of course, it's hard to find a western as good as The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, etc... As an avid fan of westerns, though, I am always open to a good indie, and this one definitely fails.

I am not a huge fan of Westerns, but this was suggested by a friend. I had never even seen an independent film in the western genre before so I was interested. It was actually pretty good. It has all the good stuff - horses, shooting, love, and cowboys. The story was good and I think for a non studio release of a western it was great. I hope Stage Ham comes out with another. I don't want to give too much of the story away (and I didn't click the spoiler alert) for that reason. I didn't want people to skip over this comment because they didn't want to have the ending spoiled. The acting was great, and the production value was very good. It had the feel of a traditional western and it was a good first try. I highly recommend seeing this film. It is worth it... AND it supports the smaller filmmakers. I can't wait to read YOUR comments after you view it.
