Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWoody Harrelson scrimmaged with a local high school girls' soccer team on two Saturday mornings and one Sunday afternoon while staying in Greenwood during filming.
- GoofsThis is described as taking place in 1866 - two years after the War Between the States. The weapons used are anachronistic. The first Winchesters were made in 1866 and certainly not enough to have populated the 'West' so rapidly as to be the dominate arm in the movie. And the Springfield trapdoor shown in the movies wasn't around until 1873.
However, only the opening scene is set in 1866. The rest of the movie is set 22 years later in 1888. By then these weapons would have been available and commonplace.
- Quotes
Abraham: [in a foreign language] You were sent here for me. I will not let you go.
David Kingston: What does that mean?
Abraham: "I'll embrace your company while I have it."

Featured review
I think most people would have expected more form a movie starring Woody Harrison and Liam Hemsworth,both who were in The Hunger Games together, but it was a pretty plain, low budget kind of thing that happen to have a really good story to it.
Hemsworth plays a Texas Ranger who is sent after a man killing Mexicans in a small town he runs, and just by coincidence, this same man killed his father 20 years ago in a strange ritual of code of honor from the town they are from. Making matters worse is the fact that this Texas Ranger brings with him his Mexican Wife just because she complained about having nothing to do around the house while he's gone, and she ends up being put under the religious spell this man has got on some of the townsfolk.
Hemsworth plays a decent cowboy. Not as dashing as his older brother, Chris as he goes for more of the Clint Eastwood type. Woody Harrison is a good villain in the film. It's similar to his work in the film, Out of the Furnace.
But I really like the grim story that the Western told about the treatment of the Mexicans after the borderline for Texas was created.
Overall it was a brilliant western that had no frills just a great story with some good actors telling the tale
