According to the opening card, this is based on a actual events. Although it's a similar story to what we saw in so many old westerns. In paxton county, a daughter comes home to find there's a sherrif harassing her dad, and using animal care protection laws to take his livestock away. Possibly for profit. They talk about shipping the stock to mexico, where the paperwork doesn't matter. In the old black and white westerns, it was just the bad guys trying to take someone's cattle, either by force or some paperwork shenanigans. In the paxton county story, now there are more, bigger, complications... don't want to say too much. No spoilers! It's a story of corruption. Some flaws, but it's a story. It's okay. A bit slow. And a lot of mumbling of lines. Sometimes hard to hear what they are saying. Directed by brett hedlund. His one directing gig so far.
