Texas Red

I found this story very intriguing and very well done. The actors did a great job!! I'll watch several times & I love that's it's filmed in Mississippi!!!

Questions have been raised asking, "How is this a Western?" Historical truth: many of the stereotypes we associate with the culture of the trans-Mississippi "Wild West" originated in the Deep South, pre-War, including the "shootout" (the southern duel), the outlaw turned sheriff, the tough Sheriff who controlled his territory, the juke joint (saloon). These and other cultural elements were exported to the Far West with surviving Confederate soldiers, who, when returning post-War to a decimated South, headed West. The original venue for the highwayman and American outlaw type originated along the Natchez Trace; that, too, was an export. As far as "Is this a true story?" Yes, in its essential elements, although every storyteller-- in this case, Mr. Mills-- has license to "translate" it to a new medium.

Terrible, worst ever, avoid : these words should do it.

Umm the review below is inaccurate this movie had nothing to do with the plight of buffalo soldiers. This movie was about a black man being hunted in mississippi for standing his ground; which historically happened many times.

I was hoping this movie would be about an Arizona Ranger riding into the town of Agua Fría to engage in a gunfight with an outlaw whose kills numbered one and nineteen more.
