Sure, this is a western in the traditional sense and in that regard I can't complain about a plot that falls into the well-worn mold of good versus evil. After all, variations on that theme have probably dominated the genre from the start. They just have different twists and approaches. And I sometimes have to remind myself that hey, remember, this is fiction. I don't expect everything to play out as it would in real life. So in that regard I think the storyline was quite solid. I've certainly seen plenty of big-budget productions that stretch the believability factor far more than Vermijo.
The acting, in my opinion, was quite good considering the likelihood that some of them had probably not played in that many films before. They delivered their lines in a natural, believable way which corresponded with their facial expressions, body movements and whatever scene they found themselves in. Good job by all.
It would be nice if more credit would go to independent films such as this one while taking into account the small budget I'm assuming they must have been restricted by. The absence of elaborate sets in Vermijo is largely offset by a creative use of that available. The fine camerawork captures the natural landscape splendidly and the scenes follow one another in a tight and professional manner. Very impressive with a nice balance between action scenes and sweeping vistas.
