Far Haven

It felt like a Hallmark version of a western with not much of a script. The acting is barely there. The writing is nonexistent. You can easily figure out where the plot is heading; there's no mystery. Not a single curse word used I believe. There's no tension. Nothing to make me want to stay invested in the movie which I found myself almost falling asleep through several times. I can only imagine that this movie appeals to a certain group of people that it's aimed towards. Once again, no cursing, no sex and no nudity. The movie overall has almost a religious overtone. You have been warned! I wished I could reclaim the lost time I spent watching this thing.

I'm sorry. I wanted to like this movie. It's awful. Obviously fans, friends and family of the cast are rating it much higher than it deserves. I don't think it's the fault of the cast as all are wonderful. The material is very poorly written and I don't feel the story conveys what they described in interviews. It's too much crammed into a short film. It jumps around. It's on the level of a cheaply made for TV movie. It's a hallmark feature with a happy ending. What it's not is a western. If you really like this film go watch True Grit, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Shane then come update your review.

Probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Everything smacked of a cheap production, poor script, poor soundtrack and acting. Did not like the religious undertone, as if the movie was sponsored by a church group. They must have got a special on neckscarves as everyone seems to be wearing one. Most of the characters have crisp, clean clothes and replica Winchester Rifles that do not even look authentic.

The gunbelts and holsters appear to be new as if a leathermaker whipped up a bunch for the movie.

The "kid", Luke, looked so stupid with his Paul Newman Hat. It got to the point that we watchers could say what the characters were going to say before they said it.

Anyways, it was painful to watch and I am so glad I got it at the library for free and did not have to pay to see it. A classic example of the trash movies that are coming out today. The hero is supposed to be the strong silent type but came across as someone not very bright. Grrrrrrrr !!!!!!!

THIS MOVIE BRINGS LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS! YES ! A FEEL GOOD MOVIE!

GIVES HOPE TO THOSE THAT ARE HOPELESS.

IT INSPIRES ! IT CREATES WHAT WAS TO A GREATER DEGREE! IT LEAVES YOU FILLED WITH ENERGY! AND HOPE FOR OTHERS!

IT MAKES YOU WANT TO LOOK FOR A OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW LOVE AND ASSIST OTHERS IN BUILDING THEIR ON BRIDGE OUT TROUBLESOME SITUATIONS.

THE HEART OF MEN WERE SHOWN IN THIS MOVIE SOME GREEDY PULLING ALL TO THEMSELVES. SOME HEARTS OVERFLOWING WITH CARE FOR OTHERS THAT HAD NO ONE ELSE TO PICK THEM UP!

EVERYDAY MEN AND WOMEN DISCOVERING STRENGTH,BOLDNESS THAT THEY DID NOT REALIZE WAS INSIDE OF THEM! TILL LOVE BECAME THEIR POWER!

I loved the theme of redemption in this movie, and I loved the cast. Bailey Chase is a hottie from "Longmire" who has a great, low-key presentation in this Western setting. I also just watched him in a "Left Behind" movie, and he's got some great range. A Martinez is one of my favorite actors -- I've seen him in so many things over the years and it's always been good from him. Then there's Chris Mulkey, whom I remember from "Twin Peaks." Nice bad guy. Here, you don't really know which way he's going to go. Don Most from "Happy Days" -- that was fun to see. Everyone in the cast delivers well. The storyline has a classic Western vibe and is predictable at times, but who cares when the ending is good and the message is a positive one.
