Storyline

An outlaw band flees a posse and rides into Refuge, a small town where no one carries a gun, drinks, or swears. The town is actually Purgatory, and the peaceful inhabitants are all famous dead outlaws and criminals such as Doc Holiday and Wild Bill Hickok who must redeem themselves before gaining admittance to Heaven...or screw up and go to Hell. The residents must either defend themselves against the outlaws and risk eternal damnation... or die a second time. Written by <crow_steve@hotmail.com>

New twist on westerns
15 January 1999 | by (Cincinnati, OH USA) – See all my reviews

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.
