    Even with all the fake 10/10 reviews, it is still - terrible!

    The positive reviews will trick you; they most likely got all of their friends and family to write them and give them high ratings! The worst script, director, and acting job you'll ever witness, to put it mildly. It's nearly impossible to watch this through to the conclusion, so I appreciate those who were able to!

    Poor writing, editing, directing, and acting are all so horrible that you have to wonder if they ever went through auditions or if they just picked a few people at random. I suppose you should see it if you want a nice laugh at a ridiculously horrible movie because it was laughable the majority of the time. If not, spare yourself the trouble.

    My thoughts

    Okay so normally I'm not a huge western movie person but this one hit different. I genuinely enjoyed it because it was unique and not your typical Hollywood movie. It stood out. I think this movie made me appreciate the indie film industry more.

    The actual movie had a storyline that wasn't too complicated to understand but complicated enough to keep me engaged. There were some good action-packed moments that left me on the edge of my seat, and when a major plot twist was revealed, I was left absolutely stunned. I was rendered speechless (and I never shut up so that's definitely saying something).

    Stunned with the good reviews

    The most laughably poorly written, directed and acted movie you'll ever see.

    I watched the whole thing because I was trapped in a 15 hour plane ride.

    At one point a car drove across the picture in the background and it wasn't even edited out.

    The acting is so over the top it makes you wonder if they even did auditions or if they just walked into a church and grabbed a few random people out of the pews. I say church, because one of the main characters goes out of his way to lead a dying friend in the sinners prayer. I laughed out loud.

    I don't know which part is worse - the story line - acting - or directing.

    If you want a good laugh at a comically poor movie, give it a watch. Otherwise save yourself the time.

    I created an account here for the sole purpose of reviewing this movie.

    Among the Willows

    This is a story about an unlikely partnership between two former friends who let a woman get between them.

    With a common enemy they overcome their differences to work together on an impossible task with an undeniable spirit.

    With time running out the past comes to the surface. This may be the last chance to restore their friendship, but the task at hand is more important.

    The writing, directing, cinematography and musical score were well done making this an very enjoyable movie.

    The casting did a great job putting together people that worked well together. It's obvious the cast enjoyed working on this project.

    I recommend this movie for anyone who loves a great western.

    Thrilling and inspiring western!

    This is a realistic depiction of some of the things that happened in the old west where lawlessness prevailed. The characters were gritty and believable. They kept me on the edge of my seat to see what would happen next. I was happy to see the touching scenes as well and of course the overall happy ending. Truly a moving film with a good message of hope. I would recommend it to all families especially if you like the old west. Be ready to enjoy good original music and action throughout. The writing and acting is top notch and the cinematography is suburb. If you want to be entertained and inspired, don't miss your chance to see it soon.
