“Apologies to Deadwood for any comparison. If youu0026#39;re just going to wave a western in front of a camera, a viewer has to ask the valid question – whatu0026#39;s the point? Apparently all involved with this enterprise thought that superficial pretense could carry the day and ridinu0026#39; around u0026#39;n ominous music would convey all ya need to know about some sort of story. The casting was positively ludicrous. Every one of the twenties something pampered southern Cal principles here looked fresh out of a shower and the makeup trailer, and Iu0026#39;m telling you, dentistry in the late 1800s must have been pretty cutting edge with all those pearly whites on display. A very lame and uninteresting production that wasnu0026#39;t even worthy of having Val Kilmer snoringly narrate the tale with innumerable pregnant pauses, but maybe having Timothy Olyphant and John Hawkes lookalikes was supposed to make up for all itu0026#39;s low budget deficiencies. A real poser. Bleh.”
