Corsicana

I looked forward to seeing the story of Bass Reeves told, but not in such a lame way. Washington did a good job as Bass, but should have stayed in front of the camera. His directorial choices made it tedious and nonsensical, except creating truly heinous villains.

I admire the lack of dialogue as that was realistic, but when they did speak the words were stunted and flaccid. I can only hope that someone will actually do Bass Reeves justice by assembling a good team of writers and a quality director.

This movies actors were OK for the budget, the scenery and set were excellent, and wardrobe was well done.

This show lacked the quality in writing, acting, and historical accuracy. It was nothing but a sorry attempt at right winged propaganda for actors who rightfully been off screen for years. Save some time and watch the actual Bass Reeves mini series instead of this sorry attempt. Isiah Washington, man I've been watching him since the early 2000's and I was rooting for a redemption but he truly has gone off the deep end with this. I'm a generational Texan who was looking forward to some true Texan heroics and was severely let down. To take such an iconic story line and butcher it so badly takes a lot of skill, not good skill but just skill in the worst of ways.

Finally a believable western that dares to stay away from the tropes of saloons and tumbleweeds. This film is beautiful on the big screen as Isaiah Washington brings a forgotten hero to life. It is refreshing to see a western detective story that concentrates on the journey and pays homage to the real life US Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves. It's funny how the left hates conservative film makers. As the "Epoch Times" said, "First-time director Isaiah Washington's mesmerizing, mythical film is the best revisionist Western since Eastwood's "Unforgiven" from 1992. As of this writing, it is also my favorite movie of 2022." This is indeed a smart, "Thinking Mans" western. Well done and beautifully shot.

Cinema is subjective but I'm not entirely convinced I saw the same movie that all these 9/10-star reviews saw.

I really wanted to like this film but it was simply a disappointment. Painful pacing, amateur acting, laughable writing, and distracting continuity errors are among the failures that kept pulling me out of the movie and left me shaking my head at the production team from beginning to end. The lone highlight for me was the cinematography where there seemed to be an effort to spotlight the landscape of Corsicana and capture it's beauty, but even then it was overplayed and drawn out as if they knew that was all they had going for it.

Washington's directorial debut fell flat in my opinion and we are left with a hollow, even if well-intentioned, attempt at telling the worthy story of Bass Reeves.

Has a bit of a shocking to the senses beginning, but a really good storyline. It's all about the hunt with some interesting characters. Great job Robert Johnson in the wedding. Includes the historical character Marshal Bass Reeves. I was glad to see the end wrapped you the characters nicely, at least the ones the survived. Isaiah Washington did an excellent job as Deputy U. S. Marshal Bass Reeves, including capturing his appearance.

A good all-around independent movie with quality cinematography, music, locations, and character development. Great to see a movie shot in Texas with local support.

Certainly worth your time, but definitely an R rating so not good for the little ones.
