Goofs

When James is having a flashback series of what all he's lost, he has one in which he sees his father being shot by Tunney and falling off the church roof. He was not present to witness his father being murdered by Tunney so he couldn't be having a flashback of it.

User Reviews

Not perfect... but entertaining

I found this movie to be very entertaining. Those who talk about problems in the set and costume are WAY too picky. First of all, it's an indie, so you can't expect perfection (you find the same mistakes in A-list films). These films have to be judged according to their script and acting. The script could have been better, but it wasn't bad. Anyone who watches westerns regularly knows that a good western typically is still pretty cheesy. What's important is that the storyline didn't go on and on and make me want to stab my eyes (like another indie western "Bounty"). It had the typical western story of a man out for revenge while fighting against becoming the kind of person his enemy is, but they did a good job with the acting. I felt like the inclusion of the Navajo siblings was a bit pointless, but overall I enjoyed the film.
