Really enjoyed the movie, it held my attention throughout. There was one line in the movie where the character Chad went looking for a place to stay and the exchange between him and his buddy was straight out of a George Thorogood song "House Rent Blues/One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,1977. It went "Can I stay here. Naw man, you know my wife, she's kinda funny. Yeah I know, you funny too. Anybody else notice that?

I loved the main character, Henry. Just appealing and emotional story. Well played.

While it moved a bit slow for me, the acting was good and the plot was very interesting and well rounded. I found it very interesting AND ENTERTAINING and a great story, though based on tragedy...It seems the more meaningful stories are. It's a western: doesn't require all the "bells and whistles" of many other types of stories told. Most refreshing and down to earth. Kudos to the author and the screenplay for translating the book to the screen; a challenge within itself!

This movie is a nice little yarn about an old broken down cowboy in the modern day who gets a little bit of redemption and recovery through sobriety. It's just a good story. Decently acted by all those involved. It is nothing super special. No surprises, no amazing moments.

Well shot film. 7/10.

And IMDB has now made it so a review has to have 600 characters before it can be entered. I really don't expect that to last very long because people are sure to complain about it. But until that happens I guess we have to expect reviews to be long winded and sometimes about absolutely nothing to do with the show in question.

We need more like this. Good acting, great story, redemption And perseverance

It was nice story but the acting (especially Chad) was just bad, as was the directing. Some missteps should have been re-shot. Often times clunky.

And what has Henry doing for the prior 17 years?

One of my favorite modern day Cowboy movies ever. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Well written. Diehl knocked it out of the park. This was his signature role.

Real cowboy roots showing through for John. Loved him in Miami Vice and always an underrated actor. This one has so much heart.

Sometimes a few heartfelt performances can make a difference. I usually skip through movies but this one deserves to be watched.

It needs more movie and less soft guitar music. It seems the screenwriter just kept adding to the story and music to fill out a certain time slot. Then again, I'm forced to use a 150 letters to post this review when it can be done in less than 40.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Well played. Just one of those movies that reaches down into your soul and reminds you that there can always be redemption if you accept it.

While this isn't the worst western movie I've seen, it had so much potential to be great...and failed....the worst failure was the lighting...it was horrible..viewers couldn't make out some parts of the plot because everything in the scene was way too dark! The plot was good and the main actors, especially the actress that played Jessie, were believable except for the obvious age difference. The direction was nothing great, too many long lapses between the action...the best part of the movie were the horses....with all this being said, it was entertaining BUT it had the potential to be so much better!

What a great movie to watch, it kept me interested throughout the entire movie!

Good movies make you care about what is happening in the story and to the charecters. This movie succeeds with that at a very high level. The acting, story-telling, shooting, editing and direction are all strong. This is probably the best movie I have seen that I had never before heard of.

Glued me and warmed my heart. Few movies today have substance and this did. Thank you cast and writer.

The relationship with the two main characters was very touching. Just enough rugged modern cowboy to be believable. The connection with horses, it was amazing. I saw some comment about the age difference, was not enough, these things happen. It was beautiful.

No agenda just a good movie even though you've seen it before in other movies the story still holds. Heartache, guilt, redemption Reminiscent of any of the good westerns.

Age-old story of a troubled person seeking some kind of solace. Wasn't horrible, but was comically over-dramatic in parts, and some scenes transitioned to others with no real explanation of how they got there. We were interested enough to want to know how it ended, but fast-forwarded past the slower parts to get there, and didn't miss anything significant as far as we could tell. Acting was very good for the most part. Probably wouldn't recommend, but it wouldn't be the worst movie you'd ever see.
