    Educational and entertaining

    This movie documents a piece of Arizona history in an entertaining way that keeps the audience engaged in the historical timeline of the conflict. The directing and editing were excellent and the musical score fit the intended feel of the movie. I would recommend it to anyone interested in western history or just looking for something other than the plethora of CGI laden far-fetched action films out there.

    This "War" is a Win for the #12westernsin12months!

    We have all heard about the Hatfields and McCoys and the Gunfight at the OK corral. So how do we not know about the deadliest blood feud in American History?! The Pleasant Valley War lasted nearly 10 years and best estimates are that nearly 50 people perished....yet the story has come close to being lost from history.

    John Marrs and Travis Mills have written and produced a film that works to rectify this oversite. Part documentary/ part drama, PVW is a powerful telling of best friends turned deadly enemies. Though complex, the story moves quickly and is easy to follow and strong acting in main roles brings the men to life.

    This is a very nice addition to Travis Mills' collection of work!

    Documentary/Informative/captivating

    From the onset, beautiful scenery, great lighting and the perfect voice for narration pulls you in to what is quickly becoming one of my favorite western true stories. Commentary by the actors themselves predescribes each scene brilliantly. A story long overdue of America's deadliest battle. Travis Mills and John Marrs, along with great directing and brilliantly chosen actors for each role makes this movie a must see. A true story long overdue, finally told.

    Pure cringe

    Truly one of the worst things I've ever seen. So bad I couldn't turn it off - I had to see it all the way through. None of these guys should ever appear in front of a camera. Ever. Not as an "actor" or as a "historian" explaining something. My wife laughed harder than I've ever witnessed when they had a "shootout" with cars driving by, air conditioning unit in the background, modern chain link fences...and these guys are running around all of this with their old timey outfits and wigs. They took a fascinating story and made it almost incomprehensible. The most interesting parts were mentioned in passing or explained in a roundabout way that sucked all of the life out of the story. Just shockingly bad.

    When the Law is Limited in Handling a Deadly Local Feud.

    We may not know exactly why, but it happened and this true story, this deadly "war" is told in a very entertaining and interesting way.
