Birthright Outlaw

It is such a joy to watch a western with the qualities that made this nation great when it was. When I watch a movie like this I understand that the values that this Western propagates are not the values of the past but the only hope for our future. It has elements of confronting one's past with deliberate honesty after having been delivered to a different path than that past life, and finding grace of God waiting in the end. It is a movie that looks to the future with hope and vigorous knowledge of the birthright the movie is alluding to in Christian faith, the birthright of his kingdom come and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Excellent movie!

Watch at your own risk. Meaning: if you like any type of western, you're ok with so-so acting, you don't care if the directing is weak/amateurish... when you finish watching the movie you will say, "ok" movie.

If you are a 'movie buff', don't watch this movie. The acting and direction will have you shaking your head.

The plot is typical or better said 'done too many times'. And this results in no surprises, overly predictable scene after scene.

Lastly... this is a TV-movie at best. One that you quickly skip over while searching your channels and if you really can't find anything at all to watch, you return to this tv-movie and watch it because there is nothing else to do. Oh and yes you will say after that this was an "ok" movie at best.

It's 1890 Arizona. Martha Rose Jacobs (Sarah Drew) is living her perfect life with husband Jeremiah Jacobs (Lucas Black) and daughter Hope Jacobs (Olivia Sanabia). One night, her past upends her life with a vengeance. They are attacked by a gang led by her father William 'King of Hearts' Bridges (Jeff Fahey) and Hope gets kidnapped.

I like the start and the opening premise. It's a B-western with aspirations to be a good spaghetti western. The filmmaking starts to falter a bit. A few things start bugging me. There is no way that she would hesitate to shoot that guy. She would probably shoot him in the back. She already shot someone in the back. There is no need to do that old trope where the good guy do not shoot first. That guy is shooting at her husband. She needs to put that guy down without warning. Finally, I find the whole card motif thing going overboard. They can be called that, but there is no need for the tents. It's a little ridiculous for rampaging fugitives to be putting up circus tents. There is a good idea here, but the execution keeps getting in the way.

Since the beginning, first scene, the guy arrives in his horse in a house in the middle of nowhere and his wife dealing with her laundry in the open only notices the man arriving when he is 50 feet away. Ahã!

The grand father is pathetic, an outlaw escaping from justice with a camp under a hill? Hello, if you want to protect yourself, stay in the top!

Also, there was no GPS at that time, but the sherif, manages to hit the spot where there was a dead guy. To persons fire at each other and the director changes scene. A cheep suspense. But the wife of the sheriff arriving in the end is absolutely offensive to viewers. If you like westerns, have watched Dolare Bucato, stay away!

This is an awesome old-western Christian movie. Likewise, this movie is obviously family-friendly and is a very nice movie for the whole family to watch. Great American PureFlix makes awesome movies that are very cool. This movie is pure and there's no obscene scenes in the movie. This movie was also very nostalgic and quite unique. This is a must watch. I also love old western/country movies that are family friendly, let alone the ones that are biblical Christian movies. This is actually my favorite movie in the western genre. I've also seen other movies in this genre too, all of which are family friendly movies. I got saved on January 3, 2020 and I started watching movies regularly in November of 2020.
