User Reviews

A decent western unlike so much of what hollyweird has been putting out.

If you need cars flying through the air and lots of explosions, this movie is not for you.

If you need lots of cowboys shooting up the scenery with bodies all over the set, then this will not entertain you.

This moves a bit slow in parts so you really need to be the type of person who doesn't mind if a movie takes a little time to build up a plot with some danger or excitement.

It is about humans getting in situations where they sometimes have to do things they would not normally do. It's about making mistakes and having to face the wreckage left behind. It's about being obsessed with something to the point it ruins your life or the lives of people around you.

It is a decent movie about humans and the things they do. It will not garner any shiny awards, but it is a decent movie that did not offend me once.
