| User ReviewBrenda Bi had a crush on jesse james when i was 15 lol |
| User ReviewBrian Wno one better than Cash and Kristofferson...and Willie too of course! |
| User ReviewJason Paul JNot bad for a made for TV production. Pretty good dialog. More of a drama than an action/western. Bottom line is I enjoyed seeing Johnny Cash in a western. |
| User ReviewJohn R100123: How the hell does this movie get five stars? Oh, I see. It only has two ratings (at time of writing), obviously from non-connoisseurs of the western. Decent story but the acting sucks, likely because the primary stars sing for their day jobs. Someone probably thought putting a few infamous singers into a western would result in ticket purchases? Don't know if it did but those moviegoers were probably a little disappointed. Watch it or don't; won't likely matter either way. |
| User ReviewWesley RWhile this is a well-made film, I just personally didn't enjoy it. Maybe this is because the celebrity status of outlaws strikes a wrong cord with me. The pacing is kind of slow and I felt myself wishing they'd show more of Frank and Jesse's so-called glory days. The acting is good yet I was kind of creeped out with Johnny Cash's wife playing his character's mother in the film. |
| User ReviewPrivate UA film in which cowboys sit about saying very little while all the action happens between scenes out of our sight. After i almost passed out with boredom I managed to wake up long enough to remove the DVD from the drive and rescue myself from a coma. |
