“After reading the other comments about this film, I couldnu0026#39;t help but write something. Iu0026#39;ll have to admit that I didnu0026#39;t notice the power lines, modern fences, and satellite dish at first. I donu0026#39;t watch the scenes that closely. Those who said the actors did a good job, however… what are you smoking!?! First of all, they didnu0026#39;t have much to work with, because the script was horrible – way too wordy. Other than that, Steve Savage and Bruce Isham (who is probably the writer/directoru0026#39;s dad) couldnu0026#39;t act worth a penny. Both overacted worse than you could imagine. The only possible reasons anyone would say that the acting was good is either because Jarret LeMaster didnu0026#39;t overact like the others or they thought Michelle Acuna was hot. The only reason I rented this was because I had just watched another independent western, u0026quot;Shadowheart,u0026quot; which was pretty good. Of course, itu0026#39;s hard to find a western as good as The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, etc… As an avid fan of westerns, though, I am always open to a good indie, and this one definitely fails.”
