This movie is the worst one I ever watched in Hollywood. I felt like I wasted my time by waiting its climax. There is nothing,you can enjoy in this movie except background score...

This movie is getting some pretty bad reviews but it seems that most of them are complaining about wardrobe and and the plot being too predictable. I thought the movie was entertaining it's worth a watch. Not the best western I've ever seen but I'm sure with the budget they had they did a pretty good job and the story wasn't all that bad.

Cowboy cliché after cowboy cliché. The lead is a 3 rd rate Clint Eastwood and ever other character, from the saloon whore with a heart of gold to the wicked black hearted mayor, has less life than the stage props. How many farm girls in the West fed chickens in full make and a clean dress?

When they tell me, a movie is bad, i think to myself "Let's see how bad it really is"... Well if there is "A" class Actors there should be a "A" class movies, this is not one of them. With the exception of Stephen Lang, the acting is awful, also it is even harder to believe if the actresses look with so much work done on their faces, and the hair cuts and costumes look new, freshly done, freshly ironed, so clean, so neat, it seems more like a Hollywood costume party than a old western story, you won't believe any of the actors everything looks staged, the photography didn't take advantage of the lighting. If you are like me I know you will watch it, but you've been warned. This movie has the acting, costumes and photography of a Porn.

I kept asking myself, "Is this a comedy?" No, a comedy would be more entertaining. I had to conclude this was not an attempt at parody. I am thinking that the people responsible for this unbelievably ridiculous, half-baked insult to the cinematic arts were actually serious. I'm sure they were junior high school students with a lot of money. The characters are thin, stereotypical shadows of archetypal heroes and villains and damsels in distress. The sophomoric story and never developed plot will leave you embarrassed for the poor souls whose names appear in the credits. The scenery was pretty good, though.

I thought that the day of the good western was still around the corner this mess proves that its not around the corner nor is it anywhere is sight. How it took a bunch of people to write this I have no idea it names three and tells you there may be more guilty of inflicting this on the viewing public.I on't spoil the ending because thats the best part (when the finishing credits roll by) picture a cowboy on a horse we are to believe he has come a long way looking at the absence of any real dust, then the fact he has no bed roll. (the saddle bags seem to come and go ) but as far as having anything to cook with,to sleep on or at some time change a shirt which he does ther is nothing to sustain him come forward a little (that's if you haven't turned it off like i should have)he is asked by the girl (there is always a girl) where is is spending the night to which he answers I will sleep out(what on?)still no food still no blankets cooking gear man this cowboy is tough the town is also a classic there are so many people walking back a forth carts coming down the street its one busy little place in the part of where you and I read the goofs ther is something about the church one better than the one mentioned is that the villains are only a few steps away when the church caves in you would not want to go there on a Sunday with the candles lit. Look if you want excitement don't pick this shocker try an o;d episode of Rawhide.
Gee, I saw four guys, four writers wrote this screenplay, at first I thought it would be good since there were four guys sat together to patch up all the illogical holes for each other. But unfortunately, they all turned out to be morons and certified by this lousy movie.
The reverend/preacher wrote a letter to his brother in the church, but before he got the chance to send it out, not by email or priority mail or express mail or registered mail, he was killed and then burnt to death with the church, including the desk he wrote that letter, which he put inside when a barmaid came to him seeking for help.
Funny thing is later when his veteran brother came to town seeking him out, all he could find was a burn-down church site. Miraculously, the woman who took him to his brother's burial site took out that letter his preacher brother never got the chance to mail to him. The whole church was gone, the preacher brother was burnt to death, might just some ashes left later for burial, everything was burnt and gone, yet the un-mailed letter miraculously survived.
Lousy movie with bad screenplay, bad directing, bad acting, bad....nothing is good. Don't even think about watching it, just don't bother, man.
YOU THINK I AM THAT STUPID LIKE YOU FOUR GUYS, THE DIRECTOR AND THE WHOLE PRODUCTION GROUP?!!! Jesus.....

I love a good western so much that I can even enjoy a fair to medium one. This one never rose to the lowest level. I also write for the stage so I recognize good writing. And directing. Let me list a few glaring shortcomings here: Writing. Directing. Sets. Make up. Costumes. Probably more. Everything seemed to be deficient. Perhaps the actors could have been good . . . but not when living with these problems. This production -for most involved- will probably be poisonous to their careers and for this I sympathize with them. One star. It goes downhill from there. During the credits at the end of "Justice", I noticed the names listed for the people in town and those who appeared as Army soldiers. It is entitled: TOWNSPEOPLE AND CALVERY. Suddenly I realized that my earlier, unflattering remarks were well deserved. Make it ½ star.

This is a modest story with a terrific script full intentionally laugh out lines by some very fine performers. I have been around movies for 60 years, I have written them and acted in them. When I read what some have said I get the impression the reviewers have the mental age of three and never been near a studio. One has implored you not to waste your time watching this movie, I am imploring you to take no notice. On a broader level, if there is one thing you can be sure of in a wester is that the plot will come very much an also ran to the performances. High Noon is a classic example. Cooper is not going to die. We all know this. Predictable as the setting sun. But what enthrals us is him. His uncertainly and willingness to got through with the job. Here it is a case of determination to deliver justice. All the bad men are wonderfully bad and the good guy is great at mumbling his goodness. The filming is top class and the sets match it.

I'm not sure why this well-intentioned movie is getting such bad reviews. Yes, it's a stock-in-trade Western, but it's honestly fairly well done. And one of the biggest reasons I like it is because Jamie-Lynn Sigler is breathtaking. I'd never seen her in anything before.
I'm guessing this is supposed to be a western for the masses? Cliché after cliché after cliché... it's so bad, you start to wonder if this is supposed to be a comedy, but then you realize, no, they actually tried to make a western and failed terribly. I actually laughed out loud at the ridiculousness of some of the scenes. Hard to watch. Don't waste your time. I've seen this movie a hundred times and this is the worst rendition.
Watched the equally dire Hickock movie last night and another howler tonight.
Despite the excellent Stephen Lang being in it, he couldn't save the farcically bad acting of the rest of the cast , the dire story and the whole thing in general.
As someone else watching at the time pointed out - the characters all look clean and tidy whereas real westerns like Pale Rider they actually looked dirty, unshaven, wretched and like a real cowboy back then would probably look like - In all these modern cowboy movies the art is lost and its all full of pretty boys like Hemsworth with their six packs , tans and glamour boy antics - as my girlfriend often says- "where are all the real men these days"? - As i say , well you women ushered in the metrosexual and are now complaining that modern men have no balls so its actually your fault lol Feminism eh doesn't really know what it wants - like most women really but I digress...
Seriously though if you want a decent western you will have to look into a back catalogue of 20 years ago as I haven't seen anything to rival the WILD BUNCH or any of Clint Eastwoods epic westerns!

For fans of westerns, "Justice" is a "been there, saw that" film. The story was probably written about 1868 or so. That's the time the movie takes place. "Justice" is so predictable, and has so many western clichés, that it is unintentionally funny. Off the top of their cowboy hats, western fans can devise two or three plot turns that might (accent on might) make the film better. Other than the evil town mayor, played by the always-great Stephen Lang, the other major roles are either miscast (the heroine) or incompetent (the hero), who acts like Clint Eastwood (accent on acts like). Don't waste your time in this town, pardner.
Painfully staged parts with the 'black' stuff just a filler for even more filler. This is a classic piece of 'feed the masses'. The blacksmith (should have more time) the bought in characters should have a time to shine. This vehicle of 'fame' is not for me !. I loved the hose.
I kept my expectations low with this one and they were exceeded (and not in a good way). All I wanted was to be entertained and Justice failed to do even that. This film was a longest 1 hour and 32 minutes movie that I seen in recent memory. Like a trip to the oral surgeon, I couldn't wait for this to be over. I can forgive the movie for it's cliches, poor delivery and horrendous acting from most of the cast. But the lead actor Nathan Parsons was not only horrible, but most unconvincing and uncharismatic lead imaginable. He stunk it up worse than a 10 foot high pile of horse manure. Most of the cast was pretty bad and bland as well. The only actors that I recognized were Steven Lang( who was actually really good as the corrupt mayor) and Robert Carradine. Carradine didn't have enough screen time to make much of a difference to a film that is this bad. As a fan of westerns, I was expecting this to be easy to like and watch. Justice didn't check either of these boxes and if you haven't seen this movie, you are better suited watching something else.

Sorry I watched this. Too predictable, acting was C rate, and the ending was tacky. Just another Hollywood western disaster.

The single star is for the cross' big moment, there at the end. If it was a spaghetti western, where the characters were speaking Italian but badly over dubbed in English, I might've given it two stars.

"Justice" is not a bad film, the trouble is it is half a century out of date. Having said that, the soundtrack is distinctly on the superior side. The film begins with the murder of a preacher in his church by the local mafia which is run by a man who has aspirations of political power. Then guess who rides into town? Yup, his brother, who just happens to be a marshall. He didn't realise his brother was dead, but of course he is nothing like a preacher, so revenge is in the air, and cleaning up the town.
There is a bit more to it than that, but the only real surprise comes towards the end, something that is either supernatural, karma or a bizarre happenstance depending on how religious you are or not. Our brooding anti-hero is authentic, but Clint Eastwood and a few others have long since done this character to death.

Worst cowboy movie ever made, not one believable character or plot line
DO NOT waste your time
