Good concept, poorly executed.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Where do I get a copy of this movie? I have not seen this movie for 15 years and I would love to see it again. I grew up in Novinger Missouri about two and a half hours east of Skidmore. I have been telling my family and friends about this movie, because my brother married a girl who's family is from the Skidmore area. They took my brother for a drive down Main Street in Skidmore and he is dieing to see the movie. I have been looking one ebay, amazon, and any video web sight I can fined and nobody has this movie for sale. If anyone knows where I can fined it can you please email me at maeder1212@yahoo.com If anyone can help me it would be appreciated. Thank you. maeder1212@yahoo.com

This (TV) movie is sort of like a western - except the story told actually happened and it happened in the 1980s, not the 1880s.One man terrorizes a small town. The townspeople are too intimidated to do much about it, except an old WWII veteran who finally manages to inspire some resolve into the townspeople.Good performances all around by the cast, but the shining star of this movie is Brian Dennehy. His menacing portrayal of evil is one of his best performances ever.

While the movie was not the most "action-packed" or have the twists that others may want, it was a decent movie. It is based on the true story of Ken McElroy and the terror he brought to his small town and his "death". The names in the story were changed, but it appeared to cover most of the facts.

As this was based on a true incident in a small Missouri town N/E of Springfield, MO, I found it to be 98% factual. The actual actions of the "town bully" were in fact more shocking than the movie portrayed. "Rex's" (the real name of the bully) daughters still live in the area but do not speak of their father. If you can picture the retired football player Larry Czonka playing the part you'd be right on!
