My Take on the DVD
This movie was a pretty good western movie. I didn't know what to expect when I saw the cast, but in watching this I was impressed by the acting and cinematography. There are some aspects that are a bit over-the-top, but what movie isn't this way in some parts. I did enjoy the movie and was not tempted to be distrated within the movie itself. Instead I did stay throughout and was engaged. Some of the acting is just ok, but there were other performances that were reasonable. While this is not another True Grit or Tombstone, it was enjoyable and for anyone who likes westerns, I think you will be dually impressed.
