The story could have been interesting but it's not. This is just yet another vehicle for Hollywood messaging. The people who settled in Texas were all just outright evil.

Other movies with a similar theme like either True Grit, The Searchers, and more recently The Hostiles, are all 100 times better. Don't waste your time with this snooze fest.
