Guess what, Hallmark people. 2009 British Columbia does NOT look like 1863 "Brazor, Texas," United States of America. When will you movie makers get it through your heads that Canada looks like CANADA--a desolate, mostly underpopulated wasteland good for a few national parks and North America's major French-speaking enclave, but with little else to brag about? Even if the Canadian government desperately throws around film credits so movie producers actually are PAID two Canadian dollars for every world dollar they spend on their projects in that country does NOT mean that it is responsible to constantly bamboozle Americans with all these fakey low-rent counterfeit phony baloney ludicrous attempts to pass off Canadia as an authentic and\or historic American setting. If you want to be paid to make a film in Canada, fine--but either tell the movie goer IT'S HAPPENING IN CANADA, or do not place it ANYWHERE, or--if you are EMBARRASSED to tell a Canadian story, but you feel your story must happen somewhere--make a name up, such as Oompah Loompah Land.The plot of this so-called western is silly, the acting is third-rate, the dialog is worse, and the climax is downright laughable. The U.S. Congress must extend truth-in-packaging laws to the film industry, since this would save film fans so much time and money. Since most projects from Canada are next to worthless, particularly those that try to stand in for ANY part of America, forcing Netflix, DVD distributors, and TV channels to apply a "black box" warning to such merchandise (just as currently required for the pharmaceutical industry when it packages questionable drugs) would help diminish what must be a dangerously rising level of antipathy toward all things Canadian on the part of their abused southern neighbors.

from the title i assumed that it would be another typical western film. well i was not sure whether it can deliver a good story or a good movie as a whole. but as the story progresses the landscape and the location takes me away. i say screenplay is good but the location is awesome. heads off to the actors cause its the fluent acting that made this film a nice thing to watch. dean cain rocks man! he is the jewel of the film. its a gr8 script with two lead characters completely opposite of each other. both are excellent man in different ways, with a good heart.the widow allison is a perfect mix of beauty and love. this film although having a simple story gives the audience some nice moments to remember. it could have been better but in its own way its a good movie and i liked it.

Dean Cain surprised me. The star of Lois & Clark is almost unrecognizable here, but that's fine as he fit right in with the proceedings. The comedy is subtle, but there's a lot of it! Alison Hossack is a new actress to me, and she nailed her role of the neighboring ranch owner who has a crush on the Gunslinger, played by James Tupper.The invading protagonists could have been handled a bit better, but I can somewhat overlook that because the story was not really about them. The budget was apparent in some of the explosions.The scenery was great, the sets and props excellent, and a pesky rain was noticed in about half of the picture. The star of this movie was the witty script and dialog between the stars!I was well entertained! 9 out of 10.

This movie was horrible. I felt like I was watching a bunch of people playing dress up. Plus the fighting, shooting, blowing up of things, was laughable. The "acting" was like students at a community college were at their first week of training. Horrible horrible "acting" on everyones part. The main "actors" had so many cloths on, it made me sweat to look at them. So much cloth, the horses were about half seen most of the time. I hated this turkey. Speaking of which, the ending of the movie summed up for me how I felt about it. Laughable ending, but right on target so to speak.It was one of those movies I watched hoping it would get better, but it never did. This movie deserves -10 lemons.
