She Was the Deputy's Wife

This film will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is a unique story with some incredible twists. The acting is excellent as is the cinematoraphy. I've been back to watch it several times to catch all the subtleties in the action and dialogue.

The characters evoke strong reactions, even more so when a plot twist challenges your perception of reality as the film presents it. This is my favorite of the 12 Westerns that have been release on-line so far.

The film is well shot, with a good story and good acting. The problem is twofold though. The pace of the story is just too slow and the score is mundane and depressing. Mills' directing looks good, and the cinematography is very good, but maybe it's the way the film was edited that creates the slow pace. There's really no excuse for the poor score. If you watch any good western from any era, the score really adds to all of them. Mill's has made a number of really solid westerns recently and they all seem to have these two unfortunate flaws that keep them from really reaching the next level. If you're a western fan, give it a watch, but know it's flawed.

Forgive my unoriginal title, but don't let it deter you from this film. I truly felt like a townsperson watching the excitement of this western AZ town. As the story begins, I was as clueless as anyone else but intrigued by what was playing out. Very quickly some characters were clearly good and clearly bad. The characters were well fleshed out through dialogue and actions. When the story began to unfold, I could not take my eyes away. As a woman, I found much of the lines and dialogue insightful and moving. I was worried the romance wouldn't sit well at first, but the explanation worked superbly and I felt, was realistic. By the end, there had been murder, redemption, romance, evil, shoot outs, and more. The acting was great, no one better than the Marshal. Great film. One you will want to watch all over again after understanding some things you didn't the first time.

I have to write my first review ever because this movie needs a better rating! I enjoyed it!

The acting felt true, and the emotions of being able to cross ones boundaries for love is exactly what true Love is all about. Even the most innocent person would be capable of anything to protect the one they love. And when it is about that same loss, I felt her loss in that moment, which is what acting is about.

I loved the constant drifting from one thing to another, because this is life and if you look to the right or to the left, different stuff is happening. A lot of people died even an innocent dog and therefore the solemn music thru out the movie.

The ending Wow, let True Love go and it will come back.

This is one of those movies that you have to watch a second time, in order to catch all the little things you missed the first time. The story is just that well written. Seriously one of the best films i have seen in a while. A western with a plot, a dark sense of humor...i thought i was going to watch a romance, and it is, but it really isnt at all. Its just good movie making.
