Beautiful Scenery, Some Good Acting, So-so Story
Dodge City this ain't! Filmed in Alberta, Canada, this gorgeously backdropped film forces us to leave reality and history at the door and wait for the big time shoot-out finale.
Sara Canning("The Vampire Diaries") plays a woman turned bounty hunter out to revenge the killing of her family- seen at the beginning of the movie. Like "Quick and the Dead" with Sharon Stone, one has to accept that this young, lithe woman can match up with the toughest of the hombres. She goes to Dodge, meets and romances Wyatt Earp, Grayston Holt("Lost Boys"), and Doc Holliday(Ryan Kennedy- who plays it sounding very much like Val Kilmer in "Tombstone").
Danny Glover(Hey, where's Mel?), Kimberly Elise(toting a shotgun), and Billy Zane help out as suporting cast. It's kind of a fantasy played for real in an alternative universe. And it's fine overall to kill, so to speak, an hour and a half.
Not rated: there's a lot of dialogue, controlled western violence, limited...
Good western for mixed company!
It is not a hard and fast grubby western that men usually like but has enough for men and women to enjoy it together! Good story line. I think most who like westerns, will like this movie so recommend to them.
Great Movie
Watch many tv movies and this is one I am happy to find come out on DVD. Had to find this by actress name and wasn't in the usual dvd listings.
