Lost Treasure of Jesse James

I wasn't sure about this film when I heard about it as I didn't know how that story would differ from other adventure films like it but the trailer started to change my mind. Then I recently watched the film and all doubts were cast aside. The young actors in this film make for a great bunch of modern day Goonies which pay homage to them but all have completely different personalities which makes the group their own (complete with the little brother who tags along and makes for some belly laugh moments) all driven by an eccentric grandpa played brilliantly by Tommy Kramer. The bad guys, led by Sage Buchanan, who plays Montgomery, were some of the best bad guys I've seen in an Indie film. Most I've seen go completely over the top but these guys know how to balance over-the-top moments with the serious ones which, to me, makes for a great villain.

The plot itself provided an unexpected twist to the legend that I won't give away but is a nice twist in the Western mythos that doesn't always see the light. This is a definite win. I can safely say it's one of the better indie films I've seen.
