I looked forward to seeing the story of Bass Reeves told, but not in such a lame way. Washington did a good job as Bass, but should have stayed in front of the camera. His directorial choices made it tedious and nonsensical, except creating truly heinous villains.

I admire the lack of dialogue as that was realistic, but when they did speak the words were stunted and flaccid. I can only hope that someone will actually do Bass Reeves justice by assembling a good team of writers and a quality director.

This movies actors were OK for the budget, the scenery and set were excellent, and wardrobe was well done.

I can only assume the reviews giving this 9 and 10 are paid for, or know the cast/crew. I realise it's a subjective matter, but I don't know how anyone could give this film more than a 5.

As it stands, it's the first western I haven't been able to finish. The writing is awful, the direction is all over the place and the music feels like it was added by someone who hasn't watched movies since the 80s and 90s. It's soulless.

The only thing that saves it from getting a 1 from me is opening 20 minutes, which made me think I was going to be watching a darkly engaging, if basic, western. It was a strong opening. I'm really not sure what went wrong. Perhaps the team thought they were making a statement piece, when they should have been concentrating on the entertaining the viewer.

I'll keep waiting patiently for a film that does justice to Bass Reeves.

The gratuitous brutality at the start of the movie makes it something that we cannot let children watch. However, if the introductory storyline had been depicted with more innuendo, it is a good movie to share with all family members. The story line was relevant. The satisfaction of retribution was fulfilling. The acting was plausible and generally appropriate in emotional depiction. The scenery was quite astute and beautiful. Jason Johnson's knife throwing ability was phenomenal. It is good to see a movie where actual ability outranks the obviousness of a gun. This movie depicts a "fight" versus "flight" outcome that is a fundamental tenet of how men and women protect civilization.

Has a bit of a shocking to the senses beginning, but a really good storyline. It's all about the hunt with some interesting characters. Great job Robert Johnson in the wedding. Includes the historical character Marshal Bass Reeves. I was glad to see the end wrapped you the characters nicely, at least the ones the survived. Isaiah Washington did an excellent job as Deputy U. S. Marshal Bass Reeves, including capturing his appearance.

A good all-around independent movie with quality cinematography, music, locations, and character development. Great to see a movie shot in Texas with local support.

Certainly worth your time, but definitely an R rating so not good for the little ones.

This show lacked the quality in writing, acting, and historical accuracy. It was nothing but a sorry attempt at right winged propaganda for actors who rightfully been off screen for years. Save some time and watch the actual Bass Reeves mini series instead of this sorry attempt. Isiah Washington, man I've been watching him since the early 2000's and I was rooting for a redemption but he truly has gone off the deep end with this. I'm a generational Texan who was looking forward to some true Texan heroics and was severely let down. To take such an iconic story line and butcher it so badly takes a lot of skill, not good skill but just skill in the worst of ways.
