The Legend of DarkHorse County

Believe me I 'get' this movie.

A movie that doesn't follow Hollywood 'formula' can be very good. But this movie was a hit with a couple of misses. And yes, I understand part of the appeal is a great plot twist, but so what. I require strong plot humor and a "good deal of action" - all 3.

In the third act the film amps up with some really nice action scenes that made me feel cheated I did not see this in the films earlier acts.

They had two bad guys, both great, but I needed more understanding of how they were connected. Fortunately I could easily discount that and stay engaged without a bother to the strong story punch at the end.

I like movies that are entertaining on face value, and have a subtext and/or character arc that allow you to think and see some value and depth to the movie. Legend of Darkhorse County has it; I just would like a few more gun shots and action scenes to keep me involved to what already was a strong story with more than believable acting.

This movie was OK entertaining at face value until the end then it became something more or significant than just entertainment. When it was over I was thinking back trying to figure out some hidden meanings, or something I have missed and then found on both a religious and sociological splendor - part of the fun.

I just have to say everyone and anyone that likes indie films they should see it. Sorry about all the gushing on demanding for more action, that is just me.

This movie is undoubtedly not for everyone.

Make an Indie version of "Taken" with less action and and a better plot twist (easy to do) and that is what you are in for - still a good watch

Many are already familiar with this tragic story. What we have here is a dumbed down version of the multitude action films of "she got my little girl films" .

This is a movie review so it's best not to get into opinions here, although it isn't easy with such a delicate, tragic and controversial topic as young kids getting high jacked.

What I will say is that there are two sides to every story and not to believe that evil is always bad. I recommend considering this concept to be the strong point of the movie before forming a concrete opinion overall of this film.

The movie itself is average. It has the look and feel of a well made TV movie. The subject matter is very complex and obviously dumbed down a little for the audience.

I must admit that I was impressed with the casting.

Good casting. Average production. A few nice shots.

Overall, if you are looking for a fresh look on Good vs Evil, this one not that bad at all.

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.

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.

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.
