Typical western script, sure. I liked the plot, the predictability, and did I mention, a western? I did have trouble getting past the horrible acting by Sage Mears. In fact, I only logged in to review because I needed to tell someone how horrible the acting was.But I made it to the end, had a few chuckles at the "acting", and enjoyed the plot.
Its a western, and the limited budget wasn't what almost made this a comedy.
Just the scene where she was out of bullets trying to shoot Lee Horn was hysterical. Couldn't do a second take? Oh well, killed a lunch hour

Everything about this movie is lame. From the lame men who are never ready but should be for blood thirsty animals. To the use of coins from the 1970's to present. How do you use Lincoln Pennies, Roosevelt dimes and Jefferson nickels while gambling during the late 1880s? How hard is it to use fake coins from the era. Unfortunately, I started to watch it and got too far to stop. But it is a tough movie to watch.

This is a movie that could have garnered more accolades and bite - if there was time for the actors to do "multiple takes" of some scenes. The lead actor (Barry Van Dyke) was good but could have emoted a lot more intensity in some of his scenes with the lead actress. Barry was the perfect point man to make this movie "Better" than what was wrapped up. Greg Evigan could have turned up the juice too as he played a support to Barry's character. And the lead actress should have done some of her scenes with a lot more bite, fierceness and overall " I'm seeking REVENGE" quality to make her more believable than vulnerable. Typical story-line and plot-twist make it predictable and kind of fun to watch.

I usually avoid reading reviews, especially when the reviewers mark a film as dreadful. So I had to step in and give the film a chance to be considered. Overall, the film captured much of the "look" of a frontier town. Yes, low budgets have less finesse than some, but they carried it off well. Money isn't everything. The mood of the film was expressed well. Costumes and sets were fine. Most viewers don't notice details anyway. Acting and casting was right for the mood the writer was trying to portray. I like the fact that a wife wanting revenge takes action, uses her resources, and doesn't completely give up. Some role reversals were a nice touch, and I enjoyed the soundtrack. Reviewers don't need to beat a film senseless to make their points. Even John Wayne made a few early b&w films that hold merit today. Westerns will survive.
