The Legend of DarkHorse County

This indie film has a deliberately old-fashioned feel, being more light hearted and comic approach, being an adventure for a group of outsiders trying to meld into a small Texas town. The jokes for the most part offer minor chuckles and smiles enough to get us through some slow moments. The direction and writing does go for very sentimental reflection on people just trying to do the right thing. Even the bad guy who is really bad is still struggling for what is right.

The writing juggles the tones well but has major pacing issues in the center as at some parts the film skips through character development, such as the back story of the central characters. Lee Majors and Michael Biehn cameos were given particularly good roles as they work well together as the crazed and the sane.

Definitely not a masterpiece but an enjoyable movie to watch, especially if you like classic indie movies.

Honestly, I came into this movie with so-so expectations as the trailer I saw in a different movie made me give myself a 50% chance to watch it, up in the air if you will. But from the moment the movie began up until the end, I was gripping for the characters the whole way, the way movies should be.

The opening of the movie played a huge part in setting the tone of the rest of the film. Throughout the film, there are times when I might have started to wander through long bouts of dialog, but witty comments by the local characters kept me entertained. By the time the climax was about to hit, I was sitting on the edge of my seat, biting at my fingers, awaiting their next move.

Still it had 3 endings pondering over if that was necessary. On it's own the film wast as exciting and worth watching. Go watch.

Pretty good thriller. Lots of twists and turns to keep your attention. Great performances from Lee Majors and Michael Biehn. The story is about a Texas sheriff who greets a family of traveling city slickers making a new life in a elaborate mansion, things go wrong when kidnapping from unknown town killer occurs. Pretty good watch, nice performance by local actors all around a good movie.

Not a bad film, "entertaining" in the sense of sitting back and watching an episode of Bones or CSI. It has more development and higher production values, I guess, than television, but really it is a routine film until the end. The last 20 minutes is where you are thankful for spending an hour and half watching the development of a OK film become very good. This is a lot better than watching a 2 hour and 20 minute film shine in its last 20 minutes. Short and worthy.

More than worth a watch.

This film caught my eye because it had Lee Majors. It's shallow, I know, but I am a big fan and that's what sold it. The movie was a pleasant escape from reality, though at times, I was fiddling a bit in my chair in the middle. There were some long scenes of silence and eye candy, artistic nostalgic-type flashbacks. I enjoyed the characters, so the movie feels fresh. For the most part the plot is realistic, but some parts (won't spoil it) weren't. I followed the movie with interest, and was very impressed by the acting. The acting was good, needed romance, more action, and a bit more humor, but what humor and action there was I really enjoyed. Thankfully Lee was amazing and made it for me. Other indie movies bend my mind leaving me dumbfounded, but this one was more entertainment, which is kind of a relief.

I actually like this film a little more than some indie films, There are more good scenes that I could watch than in others films. One bad thing about this film is that there was very little violence that I really thought would give the drama more punch. In terms of the other parts of this film, they are good to very good, like the split fight scene, but they also have some drawbacks. In my opinion, the one thing that lacks about this film is the color correction in the center of the film not keeping up with the really nice tones in the opening and closing. I have never liked seeing some movies that are polished in some places and others still not cooked enough. But that is getting picky. There are some good parts in this film, including great acting, nice cinematography, and very good lighting effects. The rest of the stuff in the film are like a hit and miss for me. Overall, this is a good film, I still find myself thinking about the characters so its a 9. I really see a film so i can get to know the people in it not so much whats around them.

Finally, if you are a Connoisseur of art and the unconventional, this movie is for you!
