A man is murdered because he knows something that is threat to a southern fried psychopathic ex-confederate colonel with politician ambitions.

The dead man's wife vows vengeance.

It's a good concept poorly executed.

Poor characterization, filler scenes, no chemistry between the actors, over top performance by Jeff Fahey, dull script and errors.

One error is, Rumer Willis hair was blonde, but her eyebrows were brown. Why didn't the director have her wear a brown wig?

From my understanding 19th century people did not dye their hair.

This is an issue with making period pieces. A good majority of Hollywood actors are full of Botox and silicon. A few have what is called "The iPhone face." So, when a period piece is made with an actor who had cosmetic surgery or changes the color of their hair, doesn't look natural

Then there is the fake fire in the fireplace.

The film does become interesting in the last twenty minutes.

Here is a better movie where a wife avenges her husband's murder: The Bride Wore Black(1968)
