bettertroutponds As a cowboy and ranch owner and one who has followed movies for years I would rate this much higher than most critics. It is not based on an award winning novel like Herman Mellvilles Mobey Dick which in a movie about it In .TheHeart Of The Sea, played Jason by Luke Hemsworth it takes dome historical liberties, actually quite a few. It us well photographed, as plausable as some Hickok movies, and was quite enjoyable. I watched it with a batch of friends who are nit a steeped in western lore and they thought it was excellent. Hunter Fusher is quite good as the young boy, K Lyman as John Wesley Hardin who,in reality killed about as many in gunfights as anyone in the real old west, that role was very good, as to wooden acting, many people actually play the role mostly as themselves and TeacevAdkins plays a good crooked guy, and tough adversary, Bruce Dean makes a god Doctor and Cameron Richardson make a good female lead. Go see it, suspend your critical nature, it is an enjoyable western!

generationofswine I'm sorry, the movie has talent behind it. It also has talent familiar with westerns.But the direction stinks and the entire film in hampered by poor production values.It looks not unlike a movie of the week, if the movie of the week had half the budget of a single episode of a reality TV show.Here and there you can spot a clever lighting trick, something that adds a little bit of beauty, a little bit of photographic excellence. But those moments are few and far between, and even then you can tell that they were giving all they could with next to nothing.The sets just looked cheap, especially if you're watching it on a TV with any real resolution.Even the blood looked cheap and fake.The best thing this movie could have done was work in the shadows, make it dingy and dark in an effort to hide how cheap it all is.instead, it went for decent lighting, and unfortunately, that didn't hide as much as it should have.

dennisgcarrier One of the most poorly written and acted westerns ever. You will cringe at just how bad is the acting and direction. The video doesn't feel right, neither does the audio. And the dialogue. Wow. What a piece of garbage. Kris Kristofferson looks like he's almost dead. And delivers his lines like he's already a corpse.

lobographics This has to be one of the worst Ideas for a movie in a long time. why would they make this? With all the history available about Jame Butler Hickok. they missed it by 90 years. its all stupid. Hickok doesn't even have long hair. WHY DID THEY MAKE THIS??? Who gets to gather and says let get a bunch of county singers to do a movie? there's never been a good movie with a bunch of old country singers and they just keep doing them.
