      Audience Member Kind of funny it started out. I thought it wasn’t gonna like it but the more I got into it the better it got. Yes I recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas April 27, 2023. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/23 Full Review Audience Member another western vehicle for Scott-I'll ride Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member The plot struck me as convoluted and I am not what it's message about the press exactly is, but this is an enjoyable, good looking western. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Scott's usual role as good man of the west doesn't really stand out as the plot is very ordinary, as is the approach to making this one. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
