This is a good solid film. Not a great movie, but better than many.

A good script, with few cliches. Actors are believable in their respective roles. Well directed and filmed.

I've not read the book that this movie is based on, so can't speak to how well the it correlates to the original material.

I would compare this film to the many Hallmark films that attempt to cover similar material. This film is much better.

This film also highlights how much grittier the early West was, than what is normally portrayed in romance movies.

To sum up, a good film, worth watching, but doesn't require too much effort.

Physical assault, attempted rape, fire arms used with intent, murder.

A hostage taking incident that ends in death.

Let not forget kidnapping, which is key part of the story.

Jennifer Anniston does her best to make the most of a weak script. The rest of the cast also put in good performances.

I believe the main problem is the script doesn't know what it wants to be. This movie would have worked better if the director had decided to make it a suspense drama, or gone full in as a comedy. Unfortunately, by not committing to either, the movie is weakened.

Could have been good, but falls short in the execution.

Sure it's not completely historically accurate, but it's still pretty good.

The action sequences are very good, as is the acting. Production values are high.

The costumes and cinematography are excellent.

Thankfully, the director did away with the hokey songs and comic relief dragon.
