Ratings and reviews

If you're after action, keep looking, this is not that kind of western. This is a touching, raw look focused mostly on the plight of women. Not about happy ever after, romance, family etc it takes a different perspective. Refreshing and memorable.

Slow to start and didnt get any better. Fell asleep then turned off. A shame since some good actors were cast.

Nice job of Directing Tommy....your friend Doug Fraser...When the shoot ends the movie begins
