      I feel dumber for watching it.

      Poor production and horrible acting. I've seen better films by college students.

      Don't do it. I can't figure why the ratings were good.

      Horrible Makes the Hallmark movies look like Oscar material. The actors read their lines like the just awoke from hibernation. The plot was bad, but not awful. The cinematography was the best part of the film. The robbing of the gold at the train station scene was pathetic. There was a doorbell on a house twenty tears before electricity. You've been warned.

      Dreadful

      Possibly the worst script/film/acting ever. I cannot believe it made it past the editing stage. Absolutely amateur in every respect

      Good for the wrong reasons

      This movie provided more entertainment from its failures than its successes. Most actors showed no emotion. The sound quality changed with every shot. Scenes were confusing. The plot was subpar.

      There were a few positive things about the movie.

      The Irish guy had a funny accent. The reverend showed convincing passion in her monologues. They did a great job making the actor who played Eli look like his dad did twenty years earlier. The actor who played the judge did a good job and reminded me of Colonel Sanders. The funeral scene was funny, although I don't believe that was the intent.

      I wonder if there is a sequel planned to address the many questions I had at the end.

      If you're looking for a good western movie, I would recommend The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly or Back to the Future 3 before Cheat the Hangman.

      Hilarious

      We bought this movie because the cover of it looked like it would be awesome but we soon realized it looked like it was shot on a flip phone and the actors were gathered from the local Walmart. I could not stop laughing at how terrible the acting and props were, I'm rewatching it now that it's free just for a good laugh.

        The Reverend's speech at the hanging is from the Merchant of Venice, not the Bible.
