Far Haven

I'm sorry. I wanted to like this movie. It's awful. Obviously fans, friends and family of the cast are rating it much higher than it deserves. I don't think it's the fault of the cast as all are wonderful. The material is very poorly written and I don't feel the story conveys what they described in interviews. It's too much crammed into a short film. It jumps around. It's on the level of a cheaply made for TV movie. It's a hallmark feature with a happy ending. What it's not is a western. If you really like this film go watch True Grit, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Shane then come update your review.

It is a good low budget movie. I don't know what all the negative reviews expected. Good acting from the the lead stars. It's Got everything you want in a western. Beautiful horses, beautiful women, handsome men, gunfighting, barroom brawling, and a good message.

The movies portrayal of native Americans is very progressive and in my humble opinion, respectful.

I believe in the truth all the sets look very authentic and the costumes are well done. It's not The Good, the bad and The ugly, but it is exactly what it is.

It's a Hallmark Western. If you want something else, you're not going to like this this movie. My personal message to the studio is You make them. I'll watch them.

This movie begged my attention from INSP notifying me of its airing and the negative reviews on IMDB. I decided to give it a go because of the comments about the wholesome nature of the movie. Turns out a good movie can still be made with Hays code standards. A famous Psalm (22 or 23 depending on Bible translation) helps start the story. It's more a Christian friendly movie than a Christian film. The story has plenty of Western cliches and references to other genres. A scene near the end recalls a memorable town meeting scene in Hoosiers. Bailey Chase does a commendable job as the lead. Martin Kove and Don Most elevate the film with their performances. Experience is a plus in front of the camera.

Probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Everything smacked of a cheap production, poor script, poor soundtrack and acting. Did not like the religious undertone, as if the movie was sponsored by a church group. They must have got a special on neckscarves as everyone seems to be wearing one. Most of the characters have crisp, clean clothes and replica Winchester Rifles that do not even look authentic.

The gunbelts and holsters appear to be new as if a leathermaker whipped up a bunch for the movie.

The "kid", Luke, looked so stupid with his Paul Newman Hat. It got to the point that we watchers could say what the characters were going to say before they said it.

Anyways, it was painful to watch and I am so glad I got it at the library for free and did not have to pay to see it. A classic example of the trash movies that are coming out today. The hero is supposed to be the strong silent type but came across as someone not very bright. Grrrrrrrr !!!!!!!

It has so many life lesson in it. Redemption, restoration, and Forgiveness,

The movie portrayed how people who judge others based on little information that they sre given of a man.

The man is well aware that he is coming back to his wife's family, who think he is a traitor to his country and family. But they don't know the whole story of the past. Which of course is not told until near the end.

The towns people are not forgiving either. He faces an uphill battle from the get go.

What the show brings out is that when you turn your life over to Christ , you are a New Creature in Christ Jesus, behold all things are made brand new. And he is the living proof of it .

I hope the people who make the decision to make or not make any more episodes, give this show a chance.

Viewers need to judge this movie by the message that it brings not nit puck it because it wasn't a Taylor Sheridan type of western like Yellowstone.
