“Actually, this movie wasnu0026#39;t as bad as I had expected it to be. But still, donu0026#39;t go and expect a grandiose masterwork of cinema history. The movie was adequately entertaining, although it was a mediocre result. But for what it was, it didnu0026#39;t fare that badly.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is about Nick (played by Kevin Sorbo) who returns to his hometown to find it terrorized by a small group of thugs, and as his father dies in a mysterious accident, Nick decides to become the new Sheriff in town and clean out the criminals.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYep, fairly generic and simple storyline, as seen in many other similar movies. But it was still entertaining enough to watch. Was it predictable? You bet! Kevin Sorbo actually did a good job in this movie, and he does have some acting talent, just a shame that he will forever be branded as Hercules. A.J. Buckley (who played Harvey Morris – the main bad guy) was also doing a good job with his role, and he had an aura of confidence that really added to the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor an action movie, though, the movie was scarce on action sequences, which did drag the overall enjoyment of the movie down. It was a shame, because a bit more action would have been warmly welcomed.”
