Interesting concept. A mystery story set against an old west time period. A little slow but it all falls together at the end. Cathryn is played well and the sheriff and judge animosity toward each other comes off well. I have trouble buying the Coleman character as he doesn't seem quite mean enough. The flashback scenes are wonderful and that sheriff is the epitome of evil! Overall it's a slow enjoyable burn. Nicely done.

So if you go into this expecting a John Wayne, Clint Eastwood type shootout you'll be sorely disappointed. I think that may explain some of the undeserved low rating marks. This movie is much more mystery than horse-opera, with a setting in a turn of the century western town. It's definitely an independent movie but does have some good performances from a couple actors, the daughter especially. For an independent western noir film, it is pretty well done.

I enjoyed this movie. The acting was pretty good and the story is interesting. I especially liked the black and white scenes that told the backstory, I thought they were well done. The kid that says "Nobody will remember that in a hundred years" was funny. You have to watch the background in the saloon where he did indeed get "pulled out by the ear". I almost missed it! Was a fun watch!
