The Warrant

The Warrant DID have some value - lovely, fine horses, authentic tackle, and riders that could ACTUALLY ride, with backwoods Civil War battles between Confed and Yankee footsoldiers. There was just something a bit phony about the setup, for example Hero, John Breaker, lacked that classical taciturn-ness - opting instead for 1970s "whimsical". But I did like, Steve McQueen, (grandson of his namesake) putting in a most solid performance, a face for the Future.

As someone who can understand that good westerns died with the 21st century, I didn't mind this movie at all. It had its flaws but it still had everything a western needs. There were a few parts I even found comical.

Why do people expect perfect acting and perfect editing to tell a good story?

The acting was good enough and the editing was okay, but the story was really good.

It was also great seeing a movie without the gratuitous sex and foul language.

Well worth the time spent to enjoy a good story about good men dealing with a bad situation.

I've seen amateur civil war reenactment gatherings by retirees being filmed by a 5th grade great-grandson turn out better than this film.

Shea Sizemore's writing experience in short films should've kept this screenplay as a short, instead of this terribly written with lame dialogued poor excuse of a western with comic relief 85 min mess. Even for an 85 min runtime film, the slow pacing and lack of any real unpredictable story made this film feel like 3 hours. Add to that the overbearing and annoying score, and you'll be pulling your hair out.

All actors seemed to act is if they were in a stage play, looking out to no where and overcompensating their lines, it almost felt like a parody.

This is experienced Camera and Electrical Department turned newb director Brent Christy's third film, and it really shows. He failed in directing his cast, proper camera angles and settings.

The cinematography and colors were the only redeeming qualities in this film. Watch the trailer, and you've seen this film. This has to be the worst western I've ever seen. It's a very generous 3/10 from me.

I almost passed over this movie because of bad reviews. I found it to be better than expected.

I love Westerns but so many of them in recent years are far too graphic for my tastes & I pass them by..This movie is worth the watch.
