Lost Treasure of Jesse James

I wasn't sure about this film when I heard about it as I didn't know how that story would differ from other adventure films like it but the trailer started to change my mind. Then I recently watched the film and all doubts were cast aside. The young actors in this film make for a great bunch of modern day Goonies which pay homage to them but all have completely different personalities which makes the group their own (complete with the little brother who tags along and makes for some belly laugh moments) all driven by an eccentric grandpa played brilliantly by Tommy Kramer. The bad guys, led by Sage Buchanan, who plays Montgomery, were some of the best bad guys I've seen in an Indie film. Most I've seen go completely over the top but these guys know how to balance over-the-top moments with the serious ones which, to me, makes for a great villain.

The plot itself provided an unexpected twist to the legend that I won't give away but is a nice twist in the Western mythos that doesn't always see the light. This is a definite win. I can safely say it's one of the better indie films I've seen.

Good entertainment. The kids acting are very believable. I think anyone no matter what their age would enjoy this film. Much better than other non-blockbusters I have seen.

Well crafted and interesting. Reminded me of Goonies. Fun for the whole family.

Reminds me of old school movies where you walk away with a good feeling and a big smile. Families with kids would probably enjoy this even more. You can tell they didn't have a big budget, but that didn't stop it from being a good movie.

Watched with my nephew last weekend, its his new favorite movie. Its way better than I expected, I don't normally watch kids movies but this is real good. I highly recommend it to kids and adults of all ages.
