I watched this movie because it had high rating on IMDB. It was my mistake. I don't know what is worse, scenario, direction or acting. But the result is not satisfying. Not at all.

Dont' be fooled by high rating bots in the reviews!

I found at least 8 bots with one week of imdb as users, rating this movie as 9 or 10. This movie is awful and does not deserve nothing over 4. Check yourself and rate it accordingly in order to teach a lesson to fake reviewers.
Do away completely as if pulled by the roots.

Warning: Spoilers
Frank Connor (Neal Bledsoe) served in the Civil War, Texas, second rifle. He suffers from PTSD and hunts fugitives. He is impossible to live with. Mr. Briggs (Rob Mayes )is a bad guy who works for the government. He sells rifles to the "hostiles" instead of settlers. Their lives are intertwined and Briggs wants Frank dead.
The plot was weak. Val Kilmer was a caricature. Rob Mayes did fairly well pretending to be Dicaprio, but the rest lacked from a decent script.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Where did such a high rating come from?

Very slow
pmpiscitelli4 January 2021
This movie is very slow to start and it's tempting to fast forward through parts. The mild excitement starts in the last 30 minutes of the movie. There are no good action scenes and even the flashbacks are pretty bland. The acting is not very good and the plot is vague for most of the film. Most people would probably stop watching halfway but I was curious how it would end. I was hoping for a decent western movie but this wasn't one.
Total B movie

The hero wasn't Terrible he just had nothing to work with, Kilmer is unrecognizable at best and adds horrible awkwardness, McCord is obviously a model with 0 talent, just wondering who she slept with, must've been Pfiefer?
Busey is obviously B movie actor, disappointed.
Movie has no redeeming qualities at all.
Absolutely like a teenager made a bad western.
I have not like me thinks it deserves a better overall rating

I thought the story was decent, the acting adequate, and the scenery stunning.
Compared to some of the other tripe I've seen, this should get a much better rating and comparison. A little of the acting was weak , but just from one or two of the incidental cast.
I'm not sure how (not being a screenwriter), but I think the writing could have been tweaked to made us care more about the supporting cast. It definitely made me hate the antagonist, and made me feel sympathy for the protagonist, but I think stronger writing of the other characters would have bolstered this movie quite a lot.
Some scenes were just far too dragged out, and in the first 15 minutes I'd already fast forwarded through most of it. That always worries me.
However, the story was good enough that I wanted to know how it ends. Good to see Val Kilmer sticking with the craft.

THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY
grahamvr13 August 2022
What can I say about this movie, first if it had been 30 minutes shorter I felt the story could have been less drawn out. In saying that I found it a remarkable story of the old west. War and violence dominated that era and the way people treated each other in many cases was with violence and abuse. Today's society with guns blazing in the USA almost feels like these days are well on the way to returning.
Most of the performers carried out their roles suitable to the way characters in the West were. I have loved westerns all my life and there have been good ones and bad ones but the West was like that......the good, the bad and the ugly.
Most of the reviews I have read here saying this movie was so bad obviously have not researched the history of the West as I have. I have also worked in the entertainment industry most of my life and have viewed much more boring films than this. Today even many of what is streaming is so much worse.
All I can say to conclude is, if you don't like westerns then don't bother to watch them. Congratulations to cast and crew on giving me the opportunity to witness this devastating story.

Really really bad
dsipho-645612 January 2021
For sure bots must have been used to create good reviews. The correct rating is 1 star. I am so angry I wasted an hour watching this rubbish. It gets worse the more you watch, so take my advice and don't watch more than 10 min, just to see how really bad a modern movie can be.
Terrible

How bad can you make a movie. Bad acting and bad story! Incredible how you can even write a script like this one.
There is no flow in the movie, crazy slow, just running around in circles with the most stupid ending ever.

how slow they have made this
ops-5253513 June 2020
Its a clear b-movie, loas of cowboys a renegades, with neiter cow or guts. meaness it has but at a shallow depth, the story aint good, the acting likewise, and the big miss in contrary to qverwhelmingly made westerns is the choice of score. my childhood memories wher either a decent symphonical or a crude steelguitar based score. here its just a cheap meeeow of a synthizeiser, that trashes the golden transition from scene to scene.
its a blur of close up shooting camera angles, and use of focus is almost absent.the cast would have impressed me if they had it in their eyes but they dont. thats why clint'ern caught his audience, you wont be caught by this.
playtime here are 137 minutes, coulve been easily compressed into 85 mins without a problem, so here its quantity over quality believe me. inexperience deluxe from the director and editors, make this sub western saga a blimp and no more than that.
its made for the cowboy nerds, and the cast and crews families, a weak 3 for stamina from the grumpy old man saying that watching a bit of bonaza wouldnt hurt. its pretty decent compared to this. recomende?no.
