Audience Member Good movie recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas October 7, 2023 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A 1950's attempt at multiple points of view. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member The film has good intentions, trying to explore several several points of views in a western peace-making effort, but it is all negated by a poor superficial script and equally poor acting deep into the cast. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun, well acted, romantic western, with a lot of action. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
