New twist on westerns, 15 January 1999
8/10
Author: Cincy from Cincinnati, OH USA

New-age spirituality meets an old-fashioned western with success. Acting is great and the movie flows well. Altho' it may have helped to tape it and zap thru' the ads. The good guys vs. the bad guys shoot-out at the end is incredibly well done.
