Montford: The Chickasaw Rancher

I think this an accurate portrayal of a historical figure. It is nice to watch an unabridged story. The pain Montford and his family endured was hard to watch at times. I saw many Native American people that I recognized from around the area in the movie.

It's watchable. There's just enough good to slightly outweigh the bad. It's a passable ride

It's a bit melodramatic, the acting is inconsistent, the direction is not very good, the dialogue is anachronistc, but the story (true) is good, the cinematography is good, and it's an ok way to kill some time. I'm retired. I do that.

The ending is unsatisfying. If you're going to present a character in such a way that you're meant to HATE them, want them to suffer a slow death, etc., then show his comeuppance. There are a couple characters that need killin, but it's only insinuated that they get theirs.

It's not a multiple watch deal. I've seen Shawshank 7 million times. This isn't Ike that.

The story is very interesting. Pretty incredible what he was able to accomplish in his life. Scenery was great and the outfits. Some of the scenes didn't go off quite as well as I think they wanted it to, felt kinda cheesey. Overall, pretty good.

Based on a true story of how some Native Americans became successful cattle ranchers in 19th century Oklahoma in spite of hatred and violence directed towards them. Entertaining and interesting.

Good drama/action/historical movie. I was impressed by the dedication, perseverance, and patience of Montford, and how it pays off in the long run. As opposed to Dodgeball (the underdog reference), this is actually based on a true story, which I didn't know beforehand but confirmed with some google-ing.
