Goofs
When the mother and her motley crew of desperadoes decide to leave town, the hero refuses to let them go. Instead, he informs them that he intends to turn them over to the Confederate Army when it arrives in a few days. This would mean the action takes place in the 1860s during the American Civil War. Later, when they bury John Boone Hawkins, the date of his date on his wooden cross is 1888, more than twenty years after the end of the war in 1865.

Great potential abysmal screenplay and acting

The screenplay lacks a coherent back story and instead suggests some bizarre inherent importance of a treasure secreted somewhere. It's unclear why everyone is where they are apart from historical reasons. A lot of focus is on the dwindling water supply which becomes an impalusible rationed commodity yet quite how it would be commercialised by the invaders is unclear. The location is convincing but the ruined nature of everything makes no sense. The cowboys are hackneyed clichés as is the matriarch. Dickinson plays a doe eyed hero and though no chemistry is present between him and Isabella walker, they manage to hold their own albeit a little over the top towards the end. 101 minutes of time could be spent on something far more worthwhile even if you wheeled out a dubbed spaghetti western from the 60s or 70s.
