As I watched this terrible film, I was reminded of a bad High School drama project. The characters are one dimensional, the story line is something that any HS kid could come up with, very formulaic.The score leaves nothing to the imagination. You have the soaring violins and happy sounds when we meet the dad and are expected to learn what a good man he is, as an example.Bad guy goes from having rotten teeth in the beginning of the movie, and 15 years later has a set of pearly whites. I guess they invented cosmetic dentistry in the interim.And even small things, like the guns are from the early 1800s, but are supposed to be late 1800s models.Looking at the film, you realize there was some budget here, as the cinematography is fine, but the rest of the film is just dreck.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Justin Ament...you are not leading man material, or a producer. PLEASE, PLEASE...stop making movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I believe you have let your ego overwhelm you good judgment. You area supporting actor at best. Clichéd, predictable and formulaic! "Not that there is anything wrong with that!" There are reasons movies are released to video, not the theaters, that go beyond being an independent production. Under the above stated circumstances, Angus MacFadyen did some exceptional work, set in an environment of simplistic or unenlightened sets, dialogue, camera angles, lighting; etc., etc., etc. Or maybe I was just in a bitchy viewing mood.

My husband and I thought this was a great movie! I liked it because, although it was somewhat a typical western story line (and if you don't like that kind of a movie, then don't watch it)it was different in the fact the good guy does die in the end. But what really makes this a good movie is there is no sex scenes, I don't recall any bad language and it's not all shoot'em up. Sometimes Hollywood goes so needlessly overboard in those three areas. It also didn't have that dark dreary drab look that so many new movies have. As far as a Christian movie? Just because a movie has a Minister in it, a few bible verses sighted, and a redemption them, doesn't make it a Christian film. Take the story for what it is, It's just a movie. However, I would recommend it to my Christian friends. I did not think the movie was in any way slow or boring. maybe you all have been brain washed by the Hollywood mentality of what a good flick is.

I liked the movie. I shot a movie at Paramount ranch and I really liked how they used the town. It is not very big and yet they gave it a very large western feel.Production Design was great.I thought the acting was great in some parts and just OK in others.The sound design and score was perfect. Subtle yet a character in itself.It very much had a faith feel to me. It was like a Christian movie for adults...until then end. It only looses this faith feel as the man carries out his vengeance. In fact, the big title line is: A Man Comes for Revenge....and Finds Redemption. However. he never finds redemption. He comes for Revenge and eventually gets it.Conclusion: a little long, slow at parts, but overall was a good film.
