I'm a western fan and a Sam Elliott fan, so this should have been right up my alley, but I felt the film fell drastically short. The story had potential, but the writers of this film made some questionable choices in dialog. Also, I feel that the director should have demanded more of his actors, especially those playing Mr. McKaskel and his son. Their dialog in particular seemed stilted most of the time. In addition, there are several cuts that seem off-timing and distract from the story. However, Sam did do a good job, and had his supporting cast's talents been brought out better and exhibited more, I feel that the movie would have been much more enjoyable
