I am no actor, and I realize scenes are frequently shot out of sequence. But don't the actors have some sort of inkling as to how poor a picture is while they are making it?

I've never been one for "flashback" movies, but this one with several different versions of the flashback is just too much.

There were a couple good pieces of acting, such as when Bloom accused her husband of cowardice, but they were too few to carry the movie. The last 8 to 10 minutes were more like 3 Stooges/Laurel & Hardy slapstick comedy sliding down a waterfall into a pond and spitting water...c'mon!

I did enjoy the scenery around Tucson, and the music was pretty good, also. The rest of it left me scratching my head. This is a movie I had timer-recorded to DVD and did not watch for quite a while since recording it, so it is in my collection. I have real doubts it will ever get another watch by me.

And what's up with the baby? Did the writers just say "Hey, this ought to work for something?"

It's a pity, too, because with de Silva, Newman, Bloom, Robinson...these are actors I really like. They could have made a much better movie.

I rarely give less than 5 stars, but this one only rates 4 from me.

This looks like as though it is going to be a pretty good series, but it must cause pain to the writers to go two sentences without vulgarity. It's not that I am offended...it just seems to lack creativity when so much is used.

The scenery is great, even though it is shot in California and not South Dakota.

Keith Carradine as Hickok is great...all he needs to do to scare 'em is to look at 'em.

Powers Boothe will be a plus. Ever since his part in Tombstone, he has been one of my favorite actors.

PLEASE!!! Is it not possible to make a show anymore that does NOT have the "amateur" camera movement. In my heart, I KNOW the anti-jiggle technology built into cameras now would enable a 5 year old to shoot steady shots.

They probably offer "Jiggly Camera 101" in film school now.

And why, please why, do we need 7-10 different camera shots of someone's face in rapid succession for a scene in which 1 or 2 would do nicely? Editor/splicers need the work, I guess.

I did not care for the movie, so I expected just about what I got from the mini series. Very little.

Glad they are repeating Dennis Miller's new show, which is running against this. Wifey wanted Traffic. She pays the bill, so guess what we watched.
