edris_ne Broken Fences is one of those unique films that reminds us of some good old western films that are hardly made these days. It's a complete film that carries and holds all the ethics of film-making. Ian Van Sickle's amazing performance has added a different kind of flavor to the film. Likewise, Ryan I Parker's innocent acting craft has given the film an additional star. I loved this film and I not loved it for the reason that I'm a great film lover but mostly for the reason that it made me feel confident that good cinema and good filmmakers are still alive. Troy McGatlin must bring more films. Good cinema needs such filmmakers. The film is a winner and is worth watching, only if you are a lover of good films.

ccegla1 I happened to stumble upon and rent this fantastic movie about a week ago. I didn't watch the trailer. I only knew what I knew from the DVD box. I am still haunted by it.From the first scenes I was captivated! This takes place in rural Colorado, and the scenery is breathtaking. The beginning of the movie focuses on a lonely farmer. You are taken into his daily world and you feel like you are there with him. If anything, you must rent this for the scenery.The story line builds to a shocking conclusion. I won't give anything away, that would spoil it. But I will say that one of the themes is "how come Cowboys don't cry"? Sound familiar? I am definitely buying this movie for my collection. This is a must-see for any film buff!

trolldown I've seen people comment that the film is too slow.. but there's no rule in the book which says that a film can't be slow. It's slow because the script is written so.The movie deals with the character of 'Dillon', a very unlucky son. The story revolves around him and his father.Also I didn't notice any 'bad acting' in the film. It's a nice movie and I honestly believe that it is underrated. It deserves way more than a 4.2. In fact, the movie is different. The ending is a bit melodramatic but overall it's a good movie. Just watch it and decide for yourself.

butcher0 This film, apparently written, produced and directed by a film-industry based accountant, was certainly made on a very strict budget but that fact cannot excuse the lack of character and soul that comes through the lens of the camera. The actors did their best, in my view, in what is a rather interestingly put together idea, concept and material. However, the dryness that comes through the lens lacks emotion, depth and/or conviction. This little movie is one of the, if not THE, most depressive and inane concoctions I have ever seen put together on film. It really could have been good, perhaps, if it had a soul. The execution was not up to par. The end result is a TERRIBLE movie. Try, again, sir...but try not to contrive emotion, it just falls flat. Perhaps, consider a director?
