Not only does Valentine Casey (Dwight Yoakam) have trouble escaping his past, but also when it comes to visit him, it's usually with guns blazing. As the steadfast upholder of the law in 1900s Arizona, Valentine leads a good life in a small town -- which unfortunately comes to a halt when his no-good family arrives and kills some innocent people. After moving to a new place and trying to restart things, pursuing a woman named Adalyne (Bridget Fonda) along the way, his clan tracks him down again.

Sharon Stone once likened dating Yoakam to 'eating a dirt sandwich.' Viewing his directorial debut, it's apparent that she was being too kind--after all, just watching his film is like eating a sh*t sandwich. Go to Full Review

mark g @Mark_Alan_G. 07/09/2024 Let me preface my review by saying I worship Dwight Yoakam. Have every record he has ever done. Have enjoyed him in countless films. However, this thing was awful! I mean, tedious, pointless, awful. I guess sometimes it must appear easy to do a Western, but this film proves without doubt, it ain't. What a waste of some decent acting talent that were doing Dwight a favor. I actually bought the soundtrack before seeing film, not good either. Should have been a sign. See more Debi T 03/28/2024 One of the most ridiculous movies I've ever seen. At least it was free. See more Christina H 03/16/2024 Poor/pathetic story line; incredible cast of actors. It was a waste of time watching to see what the plot was…🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ See more Walter B 10/30/2022 Saw there were a few actors I like, so I figured it couldn't be too bad. (I'm REALLY learning that good actors don't always rescue bad direction.) I can say 2 good things about the movie. First, it was good to recognize some of the actors. Second, because I saw the movie on TV, some of the commercials were ok. See more 05/31/2022 For the love of God don't waste your time on this horrible movie! See more camille l 06/22/2015 Il y a quelques bonnes idées dans ce western absurde réalisé par Dwight Yoakam. Dommage qu'elles soient noyées dans un océan de dialogues inintéressants, mal écrits et une nuée de pistes totalement oubliées moins de dix minutes après les avoir lancées. C'est bien dommage car avec un film qui culmine à 130 minutes, on s'attendait à beaucoup plus de matière que de longs plans sur la plaine ouest-américaine avec des personnages qui n'ont aucune origine, aucun futur et aucune complexité. Dwight Yoakam ne semble pas avoir les épaules pour tenir le film et c'est plutôt Vince Vaughn ou Luke Askew qui sont très bons. Malheureusement pour le film, ils disparaissent pendant près d'une heure au milieu... Le score est très bon. See more Read all reviews
