Funny how if you don't like something then your some type of brutish American who only wants violence and action.
Can't a movie just be bad for no reason except it sucks and historically inaccurate.
This movie is ripe with historical inaccuracies, i'm only sharing one because it's what caused most people to leave the movie. The horses at the start is a dead giveaway about how historically inaccurate and lack of thought and care put into storytelling. The horse is too nice to be in the old west the horse its overall confirmation and health really distracts from the storytelling. On top of it it looks like somebody threw a bucket of water on the horse to make it look like it was sweating not real accurate. They put no thought to how it would luck if a horse was sweaty personally I think they only cared about getting a few well known actors which is still a disservice for the audience. Additionally the horse keeps doing dressage moves throughout which within the first five minutes caused all the horses people in my family to get up and walk out of the movie. I know you can't get everything historically accurate but within the first five minutes of movie is falling apart and not allowing you to suspend the reality and put you self in the time period. It's important that the Director and writer care enough about the story process not to distract but to draw the viewer in. For the lack of care of this movie is why I give it such a poor review you don't respect the audience why should I even bother to spend the time watching your movie.

Weird this hasn't got great reviews. Maybe it's not been watched by Western fans, I am a fan and this didn't dissapoint. I've noticed it has two titles one with 'Gunfight at' in it. Maybe people watched that and expected more action. There was some action, some quite brutal but in small doses. Its a drama with some interesting characters played by a likable cast. A couple very strong female characters too. Yes, it's low budget but that's nobodies fault. A few parts are slow but there are sone tense moments and it's well worth you're time if fans of the western genre. Actually a lot of younger film lovers may not have seen many or any of these kind of movies,I'd say give it a go it could be a good starting point.
It has the look of a classic spaghetti Western too and the soundtrack certainly helps the fell. A tight script, quiet dialogue driven. 🤠 👢 🐎

As a lifelong fan of western movies, this trash is the worst I've ever seen. Horrible script, acting and soundtrack! There is absolutely nothing believable about the premise of the movie. A complete waste of film!!!
WE certainly gave it a chance. More we watched; worse it got. Much worse.
Appears someone went to Spain somewhere, to make a western, found a bunch of rocks, a bell and a well, found some wannabe actors who probably acted in high school, and had them read mindless words. Then they patched all scenes together. An OMG Vote is much too generous. I actually felt VERY bad for the "actors".
So, when I said to my husband - you're STILL watching. He said, " I've gone this far, so have to see how this can end." Problem was - with ME - toward the film end, I thought they were all getting BETTER, or was I now brain dead!

If we call Italian westerns "Spaghetti" then we must call the Spanish westerns "Tapas" westerns or "Tortilla" westerns. Like the title of my review, I do love a good western movie but alas, this one left much to be desired.
Did you know
- GoofsWhen the mother and her motley crew of desperadoes decide to leave town, the hero refuses to let them go. Instead, he informs them that he intends to turn them over to the Confederate Army when it arrives in a few days. This would mean the action takes place in the 1860s during the American Civil War. Later, when they bury John Boone Hawkins, the date of his date on his wooden cross is 1888, more than twenty years after the end of the war in 1865.
