This slower burn modern Western thriller is different, and more compelling, the films like it due to it's non-linear storytelling approach. You'll start to question what you're seeing, which is hard to pull off, but writer/director Mark Stephens does a fantastic job of it. A definite indie gem!

Horrible acting and plot. Just watch the trailer and you will understand. It be hard pressed to categorize it as a western.

I think this is my first Western thriller. It has a little old West with a contemporary feel, a little dark atmosphere and an indie vibe. You have to pay attention as the story builds, but you get a good payoff at the end.

ONE STEP BEHIND is a highly effective and deeply dark Western thriller! I loved the use of the desert as the backdrop as it's so iconic to westerns. I also thought the lead actor Thoms Fisco was dynamite and menacing on a degree you don't usually see in indie films. This dude can act! The camera work really added to the feel for me and I also loved the music. Classic guitar in westerns always gets me. Lastly, there's a great twist! One Step Behind is a bonafide indie western that fires on all cylinders! NICE WORK!
