I bought this movie for my husband who is a huge Louis L'Amour fan. This movie was so short (90 minutes)and left out so much of the story--- having read the book he just couldn't believe it. The acting was good, the story clean but they really didn't develop the charaters very well. It was almost a comedy. At the end it was like we needed to turn over the DVD to get part two. Too bad becasue my husband said it was one of his favorite L'Amour books. Now I am going to read the book to get the entire story. If you've never read the book you'll like this movie.
My hope is that someone else makes a movie on this same book. THE IRISH MUSIC IS WONDERFUL!

This movie is an atypical east coast meets wild west romp as only Louis L'Amour can tell. Strong cast with a few faces from HBO's Deadwood and Carnivale (sans the strong language). It is an untraditional story of a marshall on the frontier told in classic western style. I really enjoyed it and could show the entire family this movie without blushing!

Good wholesome family entertainment, we could easily watch with our grandchildren and have no fear of filthy language, etc. Love this movie, but the end leaves one hanging, is there another part to it?

I enjoyed this story very much. I thought it was the kind of movie that left you wanting more at the end and full of suprises.

If you like Westerns and, have read Louis L Amour Books, you will enjoy this movie. It follows the book as close as most movies do. There's one thing I wouldn't want to do and that's to watch the Movie and then try to write a Book report for a class in school. It just might not Fly.

I always enjoy anything connected to Louis Lamour and this was a good movie
over all. However they changed so much from the book that it took away from the pleasure of watching it. I do so like the "period" dress and scenes. Makes one feel like we are truely peering into the past. If you have not
read the book it should be a good movie. I feel that the director change and cut too much in the interest of time and the story line did not get properly developed.

So far this is the most stupidest movie I have been dumb enough to buy, I'm a Louis L'Amour's fan, but I'm sure glad I missed this one !!!! not even sure what would help this movie besides burning it. at least the disk is good for a frisbee, or target practice.

This is one of his better movies based on a Louis L'Amour. It shows both strong men & women, not gunmen in the west.

I'm not sure these other two could have possibly watched the same movie as I! Poor directing, horrible editing, high school camera work, and of course, ridiculous acting, this movie had it all. I took an early day from work, picked up a movie, within twenty minutes I had no choice but to turn it off. It was so bad I went back to work just to punish myself!!

There is reference to a part 2 and couple months back watched the 2nd part where his old boss finding out where he had got to came west making the whole story as in the book or god forgive there is a 2nd disc?
Cued my dish-TV to search for it every other week.
Besides like the Croc's girlfriend and historical contribution
