Reasonably well written, ok performances. Historically superficial and somewhat inaccurate. For instance. Custer proclaimed he graduated last in his West Point class, a popular fallacy. He graduated 34th of 108.
Whoever ran the props department obviously "phoned it in." Jesse James' gang robbed a bank in 1869 carrying guns not made unttil 1873. Cavalry troops had 1873 rifles when slauhtered in 1868. Believe I even saw 1890s vintage Winchesters used by Indians in the 1860s. Having read "The Outlaw Trail" several times, I expected better from a Robert Redford project - this reminded me more of something thrown together by Alec Balwin.
