This film was beautifully shot in an authentic looking locale, the characters were superbly cast from the sheriff to the local land baron, the bad guys, and even the townspeople - all spot on! The underlying musical score accentuated the action perfectly. Even the theme song by Tim Ruffo is top shelf! But those three elements alone can't carry a film. The true star of this fantasy western is the story and screenplay. The director and team did a masterful job of melding all these elements together into a nice tidy package! Kudos to Producer Tim O'Hearn and his vision! Can't wait to see what these guys come up with next!
There are very few movies that have grabbed me like that one has. This is something I will be viewing over and over again.
The story line speaks to our many facets of life. It stirs the soul. You can't suppress the empathy, as your being drawn increasingly deeper into the character's perspective.
I found this film to deliver an extremely unique and well balanced, mixed genre, that creates a phenomenal viewer experience. Quite simply stated, you must see it to appreciate the full effect of what has been created.
I can't begin to imagine how it could have been made any better.
We can always hope there's a sequel!

Truly, an Enjoyable film that I never tire of watching!
An Exciting storyline, with Great characters, Brilliant casting & some FINE to EXCELLENT acting.
An inspired location!
Filmed at Dogwood Pass in Beaver, Ohio. A creation of love for the old west, built by Mike & Sharlene Montgomery, who also appear in the film. This is a reproduction of an old west mining town that transports one back to the 1870/1880's and was an Exceptional choice for this movie. A Must visit if you are ever in the area.
The Best part, I was blessed by getting to visit while shooting was in progress. Some of these wonderfully, talented people are actually my friends.
I Highly recommend this film!

This movie kept me interested the whole time. It streamed smoothly throughout the entire movie. I laughed at several scenes and knew many people who would definitely relate to this character. Jeff Grennell was fantastic in this movie. He was so versatile and believable. I could definitely feel what he was feeling. The landscape of the picture was breathtaking and seemed so realistic of what it may have been like back then. The "door" threw me off, only wishing there were really doors out there like that. I suggested to several friends to watch this movie and guaranteed them they will love it! I watched this movie from my home but would have loved to watch it at the movies to hear all the laughter and remarks afterwards.
It seems that most westerns are just all the same kinda shoot them up cowboy... But showdown of yesteryear is not like that... It's unique, full of heart and love with an intriguing, storyline, a fantasy that envelops you from the very beginning all the way to the end... It was a fun ride... Jeff Grennell and Debra Lamb were wonderful together. I recommend it for the entire family. I loved it so much that I not only watched it myself, but I shared it with two other people, and encouraged many many more to watch it... You won't be disappointed if you see this film... The writing was excellent. All of the Actors did an outstanding job portraying their characters. It was so refreshing to see a western with such a different storyline... It was a wonderful fantasy... I watched it several more times since... I hope this movie gets the recognition it deserves... A true must see! Congrats to Tim O'Hearn who was the originator of the story and one of the writers... Bravo.
