Is our heroin on purposely shooting objects out of the cannibal villains hand, or are those inexplicable 'near misses' ?
I guess the opening speech is a -ready set go- for the western version of 'deathrace' where only one will survive to confront the cannibal villain, oh which one will it be?
Can't really hear some of the spoken dialogue, I think the guy playing the cannibal figured this out, so he is largely yelling his lines, LOL, so we definitely hear him. Did our screen writer get some of his inspiration from 'the shining' when he wrote the dialogue for the crazy cannibal?
Oh where did the bullet go that hit our heroin dead center in the back?
Did our heroin get a dirt smudge on her pretty cheek at some point in her fearless revenge quest? Why did she leave her horse and souvenir play rifle bought at a tourist shop behind?
I see black powder pistols being shot, and cartridges being loaded into them, oh woe is me
Very pretty Oregon coast footage used in the movie. Acting was ok, cannibal man dialogue was my favorite part. Costuming was quite good. The music (score) was good, but sometimes drowned out the words.

Who puts up the money for this garbage? This is the second failure I've seen this week from Justin Lee - the first being another miserable mess Any Bullet Will Do. Does he not know how to write a screenplay or direct his actors? Dumb story that goes nowhere and actors that don't know how to act! Lousy pacing and boring extended scenes that make you yawn. If you have insomnia, this will put you to sleep. Seriously, a 5th grade drama class can come up with a better production! A generous 2/10 for the cinematography.

Wow...decent start...then nothing happens . I could not even get thru the first half hour. This women starts to ride off looking for her husbands killer..but where is she going? There are no clues to follow as far as I can see....then the next 20 minutes all you see are scenes of her riding, making a campfire, etc. Lost interest by now...shut it off. Back to Redbox...glad it was only 1.50 dollar rental.

Movie starts out ok, then drags all the way to the end, how she goes about trying to get revenge is just all together boring. Also the way she acts at times makes no sense if she was really out there doing this. Waste of time.

Watch the first 5 minutes, then skip to the last 5 minutes. This is nothing more than a 10 minute movie, at best. There are more scenes of rivers, streams and oceans than anything else of importance through the middle of it.
This movie drags within the first few minutes and you keep expecting the pace to pick up but it never does. What was meant to be the climax was just to ridiculous thanks to the cheesy dialogue. The focus on the scenery and the annoying music score added to the misery of this women's long walk for revenge. Don't waste your time. Literally more than half of this movie is her walking through the woods or on a beach alone with no dialogue.
If you have a short attention span, as many others that left a review have, then this movie is not for you. There aren't horse chases, fist fights, or lots of gun battles. It's a simple movie about a woman searching for her husband's killer. She spends most of her time alone traveling through a largely uninhabited wilderness. The cinematography was very good. It looks to my eye to have been filmed in the northwest USA. I suspect this is a lot more true to life, during the time period it portrays, than the big budget shoot 'em ups that the other reviewers so desperately wanted this to be. It's not a bad movie, it's just a movie that todays adults, with their video game addictions, and there constant need for entertainment, can't cope with.

I love western movies!
The story is actually quite unusual for a Western because it is completely about revenge. The movie got me excited about it and the leading lady is really great! Who likes western movies should definitely watch this movie. Have fun!

The story in this movie was so thin that it was nearly non existant. The dialog, weak. The best part of this movie was the scenery. I got the impression the story and actors were just an after thought.
(2018) A Reckoning
WESTERN
Written and directed by Justin Lee that has Mary (June Dietrich) seeking retribution after her husband was discovered mauled. And she offers the property that she owns in exchange for a gun and a horse so she can go after the person who has done this. Lance Henrickson also stars as the mouthpiece of the tent group attempting to convince Mary not to go and do this since they already got bounty hunters and so forth to do this. He only appears at the beginning and that is it, for the rest of the movie has Mary trekking the man responsible.
Although it is a western, much of the movie takes place in the forest. It's a poor attempt to duplicating a much superior Western like "Hostiles" starring Christian Bale from 2017. The forest environment did not bother me, but the inconsistencies did, like the guy who took Mary's horse, forcing her to walk. And after she succeeds to killing him, she never bother to retrieve her horse back. And the main bad guy, Marrow (Kevin Makely), I mean, what's up with him! How come the only bullets he has are the ones on his holster? Where is his gun belt? Cannibal killers, particularly do not carry a pistol without gun belts.
