I am a huge fan of Westerns, so this was suggested by a friend. First off there is no known acting talent in this film and I have seen several independent films in the western genre, so I was interested. The DVD cover Art was pretty slick and the film was actually pretty good. It has all the good stuff you expect from a western film horses, Babes, shootouts, fights, and cowboys. The story was pretty thin but I think for a non studio release of a western film it was still pretty decent. The acting was stiff and rigid at times, but the gunfights were pretty good, Michele Acuna who played the sparkly eyed girl is a BABE!, the action overall was moderate just not enough for me but this is also a rated PG-13 film.. I would recomend this movie if you support the independant filmakers, its not that bad of a film, no nudity, not overly violent, although it has quite a few eye twinks in it, like in one scene you see powerlines or even a satalite dish even a chain-link fence so the historic perspective is a bit lost. Although this is an indie film and I do support the indies one thing I expect from any production wether its a big or small production it should have a look and feel like it was made as a big -budget production, the better independant filmakers can actually fool you with the production value of their projects when they take time and pay-attention-to-details. The costumes looked pretty kool and the interior sets looked great but this still comes off as noticeable indie work. As I stated earlier Michele Acuna was gorgeous to look at and her acting was pretty good overall for story/plot , action and acting Im going with ....................4/10 Stars
