| User ReviewMark FA really short movie, only just over an hour long. I like being in the Western environment and I like the cliches. It's got the over enthusiastic boy that's all 'Gee Mister!' and 'That's swell!' His name isn't Little Billy though, disappointingly. I like the way cowboys always philosophise with these generic statements about manhood. 'A man can't eat when he knows he's going to die.' It's got some unsatisfying elements. The end is strangely abrupt, a bit plot-holey, and doesn't have quite the happy ending you'd expect. The basic premise is interesting though and at the very least, it does rattle along. |
| User ReviewPaul DA decent effort for a low-budget film. The style and acting delivery may be all too familiar, but the story is told well. |
