Far Haven

It is a good low budget movie. I don't know what all the negative reviews expected. Good acting from the the lead stars. It's Got everything you want in a western. Beautiful horses, beautiful women, handsome men, gunfighting, barroom brawling, and a good message.

The movies portrayal of native Americans is very progressive and in my humble opinion, respectful.

I believe in the truth all the sets look very authentic and the costumes are well done. It's not The Good, the bad and The ugly, but it is exactly what it is.

It's a Hallmark Western. If you want something else, you're not going to like this this movie. My personal message to the studio is You make them. I'll watch them.

This movie begged my attention from INSP notifying me of its airing and the negative reviews on IMDB. I decided to give it a go because of the comments about the wholesome nature of the movie. Turns out a good movie can still be made with Hays code standards. A famous Psalm (22 or 23 depending on Bible translation) helps start the story. It's more a Christian friendly movie than a Christian film. The story has plenty of Western cliches and references to other genres. A scene near the end recalls a memorable town meeting scene in Hoosiers. Bailey Chase does a commendable job as the lead. Martin Kove and Don Most elevate the film with their performances. Experience is a plus in front of the camera.

THIS MOVIE BRINGS LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS! YES ! A FEEL GOOD MOVIE!

GIVES HOPE TO THOSE THAT ARE HOPELESS.

IT INSPIRES ! IT CREATES WHAT WAS TO A GREATER DEGREE! IT LEAVES YOU FILLED WITH ENERGY! AND HOPE FOR OTHERS!

IT MAKES YOU WANT TO LOOK FOR A OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW LOVE AND ASSIST OTHERS IN BUILDING THEIR ON BRIDGE OUT TROUBLESOME SITUATIONS.

THE HEART OF MEN WERE SHOWN IN THIS MOVIE SOME GREEDY PULLING ALL TO THEMSELVES. SOME HEARTS OVERFLOWING WITH CARE FOR OTHERS THAT HAD NO ONE ELSE TO PICK THEM UP!

EVERYDAY MEN AND WOMEN DISCOVERING STRENGTH,BOLDNESS THAT THEY DID NOT REALIZE WAS INSIDE OF THEM! TILL LOVE BECAME THEIR POWER!

Probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Everything smacked of a cheap production, poor script, poor soundtrack and acting. Did not like the religious undertone, as if the movie was sponsored by a church group. They must have got a special on neckscarves as everyone seems to be wearing one. Most of the characters have crisp, clean clothes and replica Winchester Rifles that do not even look authentic.

The gunbelts and holsters appear to be new as if a leathermaker whipped up a bunch for the movie.

The "kid", Luke, looked so stupid with his Paul Newman Hat. It got to the point that we watchers could say what the characters were going to say before they said it.

Anyways, it was painful to watch and I am so glad I got it at the library for free and did not have to pay to see it. A classic example of the trash movies that are coming out today. The hero is supposed to be the strong silent type but came across as someone not very bright. Grrrrrrrr !!!!!!!

How do I hate this movie, let me count the ways Stilted, hollow dialogue Flat, slow acting Boring, excruciatingly slow paced, non-existent plot Unrealistic props, well, unrealistic everything, so this one probably doesn't count That horrific blue stage coach The sequel promoting ending- surely they do not intend to make another one, or worse, a series of them 😳 That blond girl whose only contribution was a never ending sappy smile

If you enjoy westerns, maybe visit the ones made in the 1940-1960s. The 25 minutes I watched hurt. I kept thinking it was probably made in the 70s during those bad western years (you know the ones where all the actors had the 70s style hair) but nope.
