Stagecoach: The Texas Jack Story

I love westerns and It seems good westerns are a thing of the past. Therefore, I was truly hoping this would be, at least, a decent movie. Instantly, I was disappointed that the acting is below average. Still wishing to like it I watched further and found the story to be predictable. I'll keep searching.

Save 1 1/2 hrs of your time and don't bother. We gave it more time than the other review in hopes that it would improve. Unfortunately, it didn't. Trace Adkins' acting was comparable to the other characters but the story line did not have the depth necessary for it to be a good western. We like good westerns but this definitely failed to deliver.

RELEASED IN 2016 and directed by Terry Miles, "Stagecoach: The Texas Jack Story" stars Trace Adkins as a former stagecoach robber who turns over a new leaf and marries, but feels forced to turn back to outlawry when a one-eyed marshal tries to apprehend him (Judd Nelson). Kim Coates and Claude Duhamel are on hand as his gang members.

Adkins makes for an iconic Westerner, as witnessed in "Traded" (2016) and "Hickok" (2017). The difference between "Stagecoach: The Texas Jack Story" and those two is (1.) Adkins plays the main protagonist and (2.) it's noticeably inferior in overall filmmaking, even though it cost approximately the same amount to make. In other words, as low-budget as "Traded" and "Hickok" were, they worked quite well as made-for-TV (or direct-to-video) Westerns, all things considered. "Stagecoach: The Texas Jack Story" is almost amateurish by comparison.

Nevertheless, it has some points of interest for those who don't mind slipshod productions: Adkins is a likable protagonist; the one-eyed marshal was the dope-smoking rebel in "The Breakfast Club" (1985); Michelle Harrison is stunning as the protagonist's redheaded wife, Laura Lee; Helena Marie plays Bonnie, a striking tall blonde deputy with a penchant for killing; the British Columbia locations are effective; and there's a quality moral about not trusting people of dubious character, particularly LIARS.

THE FILM RUNS 1 hour, 30 minutes and was shot in British Columbia (Mission and Maple Ridge). WRITERS: Dan Benamor and Matt Williams.

GRADE: C/C-

Well as there were no reviews I started to watch this film as I like the genre. I'm generally very tolerant reviewing movies and was prepared to give it a chance. However after 10 minutes I could give no more!

The acting is pretty naff and the shooting scenes (at least those I saw) were pretty poorly done. I usually sit through really crap movies just to see if they get better, but there was no way this looked like it was going to improve.

It looks more like a cheap TV movie. Give it a go if you must but 10 minutes was all I could watch.

This movie was horrible. Bad script, bad acting, even the gun fights were horrible. Just bad, bad bad bad bad! Not even of B movie quality. The few people you will recognize have always played side character, and this movie will show why the should stay there. This was one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time.
