Most helpful review The Jack Bull

Highly recommended

By a customer from Southampton , 29 Jul 2005

[Highly rated reviewer]

This is a great little film. A gritty , realistic western about one man's fight for justice in the wild west.Even if you don't normally like westerns I would recommend you give this a try. As it's an independant production it suffers from none of the normal Hollywood cliches and the story could easily have been set in another time or place without losing any of it's impact.

John Cusack ( who also produced ) is magnificant in the lead and the rest of the cast, mostly unknown (to me at least )are as good.

An unusual story.

By Ruach (5 reviews) from Milton Keynes , 08 Sep 2008

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

I was interested in this film because apparently this is based on a true story. John Cusack plays the chief protaganist as a horse trader who upsets the local big shot landowner and as a consequence, a vendetta ensues between them. John's character tries to pursue justice through the courts, but is thwarted by a corrupt judge. He decides to take his case all the way up to the Governor, or rather, his wife does, which tragically results in her accidental death under the wheels of a runaway wagon. This sets off a chain of events which eventually leads to his own downfall, however, justice is eventually served in a roundabout way. I thoroughly recommend this to any western buffs out there.
