Audience Member This was a western on a regular basis, I liked it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A real sleeper in the genre. John Cusack at his best. One of the greatest westerns ever made that no one's ever heard of. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A very disjointed film with some truly uninspired acting (Cusack’s accent comes and goes and he doesn’t have the years ((made in 1999)) to pull off this role.) As a revenge western it is a dud. As a trial movie, it crawls at a snail’s pace. Worse, it has not stood the test of time and its inaccuracies would make a middle school history student roll their eyes. My favorite “blooper” is that they are constantly flying Old Glory, the modern version, with all fifty states (1960). The movie is set before Wyoming has even become a state (1890). More irritating is that the movie is named after the Wyoming state flag (the bison bull with “jack” being an old term for a flag.) So, a movie named after a flag can’t get the American flag right. Just something you’d think someone would notice. But, why let that get in the way of a weekend HBO reenactment? Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/19 Full Review Audience Member Very good with moments of greatness. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie. Surprisingly great, since it has gotten no critical notice. The story got me at a gut level. The moral characteristics were only slightly exaggerated. All the characters were inside the confines of realistic probability. I really liked this. Great acting. Great story. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a bad western. It does have that made for HBO feel. There are small holes in the story line. Entertaining, but I have seen a lot of westerns in my day. I would not rate this as among the better. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
