Audience Member Absolutely terrible movie. Disjointed and nonsensical. The acting is wooden at best and James Can is terrible too Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Weak gold rush frontier plot with very little effort put in by the cast. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member (**): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] A good-looking film but it is rather predictable and filled with cliched characters (especially the bad guys). Fair at best. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably one of the very few interesting films starring Chris Lambert! the guy is the king of turkeys so this little film is quite a jewel in his horrible filmography! This film has great locations, a nice story and some strong supporting charaters. I told my parents i didn't want to watch it at the movies but ended up liking it btter than they did. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member wow what a movie 2 watch....i have just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch.....its got a good cast of actors/actressess thorughout this movie...i think that burt young, catherine mccormack, christopher lambert, james caan, jacques francois, frank salsedo, mary m walker, morten faldass, raidar srensen play good roles/parts throughout this movie.....i think that the director of this western/drama/action/adventure/real-life/true-story movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throghout this movie i think that this is a good movie 2 watch n its a really enjoayble movie 2 watch as its really well filmed movie n its got a good cast throughout this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Why am I drawn to bad (is there any other) Christopher Lambert films? He plays a native american, he's a half breed (one half was french!) Hes a more convincing scotsman than a native american...just awful Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
