Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

OK I love westerns, even BAD westerns but c'mon this has got to be the WORST acting in ANY movie ever made. Anyone that said ANYTHING good about this movie was getting paid. I managed five minutes and I wanted that back...and change. This is an insult to anyone that watches movies. If you manage ten minutes without fleeing even the sound of this then you are much more forgiving than I am. You had to be raised by your church going' grandma, against the death penalty. a tree hugger and be in line for sainthood to find anything redeemable in this movie INCLUDING the beginning credits. The entertainment industry must have a lot of money stashed somewhere to invest or distribute this chestnut. Watch a rerun of Rifleman....but leave this stinker where it lays.

I am a great fan of westerns, and so few good ones are made any more, so I was really impressed with this film. It has all the traditional western motifs, with a little bit of The Searchers and a dash of classic Tragedy (for fans of theater). Well done movie, full of emotion and action. The reviewer above sounds suspiciously like either an internet troll or a frustrated wannabe. It was a good film, great script with characters of depth and complexity, good production values, solid acting and authentic settings, costumes and even dialogue. If only more of this high standard Western could be brought to film. Kudos to Miller and his production.

I took a chance and streamed this movie because of the "reviews" here. It is just so amateurishly awful - I could only last about 20 minutes. The "cast" looks like maybe they are friends and relatives of whoever was behind this. I've seen better acting in high school plays, seriously.Then it dawns on me... the glowing reviews here must be by those same friends and relatives.Looks like it was obviously someone's labor of love. The sets, makeup and costumes are pretty good, but everything else about this movie is really terrible.

I loved this movie! It was the high light of the Film Fest Twain Harte. One of the best westerns I've seen. It was pure, authentic and intense. The protagonists were great, menacing yet tenderly human. I loved the themes of simplicity, with dialogue and story. I loved the portrayal of these people's simple faith as exemplified by the Fords. This was how these pioneers made sense of their lives, lives that were brutal, harsh and often short. The sets,costumes and music were terrific. The camera work was outstanding. The technology( guns,bridles, saddles, etc.) were accurate and in keeping with the period.All great westerns are about good, evil and big emotions. Nothing existential or imbued with heavy doses of psychology. Great movies move you emotionally and this movie is no exception. Well done!
