So if you go into this expecting a John Wayne, Clint Eastwood type shootout you'll be sorely disappointed. I think that may explain some of the undeserved low rating marks. This movie is much more mystery than horse-opera, with a setting in a turn of the century western town. It's definitely an independent movie but does have some good performances from a couple actors, the daughter especially. For an independent western noir film, it is pretty well done.

Interesting concept. A mystery story set against an old west time period. A little slow but it all falls together at the end. Cathryn is played well and the sheriff and judge animosity toward each other comes off well. I have trouble buying the Coleman character as he doesn't seem quite mean enough. The flashback scenes are wonderful and that sheriff is the epitome of evil! Overall it's a slow enjoyable burn. Nicely done.

Coleman William Dobbs (Brandon Baker) was sentenced to 7 years hard labor for a killing that the sheriff had done. On his return after 7 years, he discovers the sheriff is dead. He decides to date the judge's daughter as revenge. There was a twist at the end which was done very badly. In fact, the whole film was a stinker from script to acting. Hard to believe it won 15 awards. Can't imagine the competition. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

I enjoyed this movie. The acting was pretty good and the story is interesting. I especially liked the black and white scenes that told the backstory, I thought they were well done. The kid that says "Nobody will remember that in a hundred years" was funny. You have to watch the background in the saloon where he did indeed get "pulled out by the ear". I almost missed it! Was a fun watch!

Saw this at its premiere. Nicely done indie movie. Pros: nice cinematography, music, wardrobe, surprising ending and mid credit scene. Cons: story slows a little in places, could use a few more action scenes. Kind of a mystery set in a kind of western setting. The acting, for the most part is pretty solid although there are a few scenes where the acting could have been better. The flash back scenes are good and the baby is adorable. The sheriff and the daughter were both very good, the judge had some good scenes but also a couple that could have been better, same for the bad guy. Had a few light moments that were a nice change up. The ending has a twist but I won't give it away and there's a mid credit scene, that's kind of different for an indie movie. Although it's a good scene, I felt it could have been a little better. Leaves an opening for a sequel though. Total acting score B Total story score C+ Total movie score B- Over all it's pretty good and much of the time you may forget it's an indie movie.
