Apache Junction

A story about an old West outpost of lawlessness with thieves, killers and gamblers.

Also a story about love, betrayal, sins and redemption.

When the San Francisco Examiner (at that time owned by US Senator George Hearst) reporter Annabelle Angel arrives in the outpost and gets harassed by a couple soldiers. Luckily for her infamous gunslinger Jericho Ford watches over Angel. The rest of the plot is quite predictable but does not hinder enjoying a no-brainer of a Western. The climax is also predictable but there is a nice twist at the end.

The characters' dress, talk, act, and looks corresponds with the impression they should create. The main actors all perform well. The dialogues could have been better.

If it is raining, go to the movie theatre and relax.

Poor acting poor script but in saying that I did find it kind of funny and if they added a couple of funny moments they probably would've gotten away with it.

I'm a film lover and westerns are some of my favourite but this film was easy to watch with some very poor acting it wasn't one of the worst I watched but if you want a serious gritty good acting film this is fair from that.

I give it 5.

My father worked for Four Star Pictures in the late 50's at Apacheland in Apache Junction as a gaffer. He bummed around with the best of them and he would have walked out of this Trace Adkins dud with his #12 boot shoved...... Anyway, we have long ties with the town and it's real history is much richer, more varied and a helluva lot more interesting that a tired 5cent 1930's western movie script that was rewritten on a toilet tank 50 times before it made the 1 a week grind house pulp mill. I've come to expect that anything with Trace Adkins will be in the "Howard the Duck" rack at every truckstop, which is sad because he was just in Old Henry and thankfully his bit was short in that inexpensive masterpiece. I'm thinking Thomas Jane needed a paycheck, thats why this was done, and sadly why his roles have dried up.

Worst acting I've ever seen. Moves at a snail's pace...the acting is just so awful. I barely made it through to the end...which was also terrible. I'm so disappointed I paid $7.99 to watch this huge disappointment.

The action is rather clunky, but the component cast, and good camera work and visuals make it a decent watch. Also, surely to God someone can find something better for Thomas Jane to do in 2022 Jesus Christ.
