The Legend of 5 Mile Cave

67 yrs. old here. The movie is slightly reminiscent of the the goodness and morals of the 50's TV western. Production value, settings, and the transition from the old west to 1929 in the movie were somewhat weak. The hero, Shooter Greene, and the young boy were on the front porch of the farmhouse clarifying the truth of the book the boy was reading in one scene. I noticed there was vinyl ship lap siding on the house! there was no vinyl siding in 1929.

Simple but straight yarn told in an interesting manner.

In a similar vein to Second Hand Lions , this is a touching story of young lad on an adventure. Always liked Adam Baldwins work . Filming locations are wonderful , filming itself is well done. Shooter ,Tommy and Josie unknown to me prior , but they enjoyed their performances. Jill Wagner very good. Nice relaxing western. Very touching. Loved it !

This budget film might not be realistic in many ways and is certainly ultra clean - the mother occasionally looked like she was ready to walk down the catwalk - but was strangely enjoyable. It was much like being told a story which was told on the hoof but was, nevertheless, captivating and engaging. Certainly recommended.

I purchased this on Amazon because I'm fan of the 3 main actors (Baldwin, Sumpter & Wagner) I figured I would like it despite it's low rating and I was not disappointed. Let me just say that the story is unique, not your typical western. It's rather slowly paced but steady, not tons of action but enough and it's a clean movie the whole family can watch. I liked seeing Jill Wagner in a role different from her Hallmark Channel movies. Highly recommended!
