Normally when a movie comes out that s based on some historical event, such as the Dalton Gang, I always judge it first by its historical accuracy. However I never made it far enough into the movie for that. Such terrible acting and dialog, even worse cinematology and directing led me to stop watching about 15 minutes in. In fact it was so bad I had to keep watching after 5 minutes just to see how truly bad this movie is. As one reviewer said. why on Earth was this movie ever released.?

Cannot even judge historical accuracy
lasted 10 minutes......
......worst acting i have ever witnessed, clear to see actors reading of dummy cards. give it a look just to say youve seen worse actors than yourself in the navity play at school
High School movie projects are better !!
OMG... What an absolute waste of time... time wasted making it, time wasted watching it,
This is a terrible piece of work... in the opening minutes, you see a guy riding from left of screen to right on a horse... Has the camera man never heard of a thing called a polarizing lens? The color is so washed out.
Audio quality throughout is woeful. Camera work, woeful, acting ? OMG... you call that acting?? From time to time you can see the "actors" eyes move left to right as they speak clearly showing they are reading off a script. Can't even rehearse and learn their lines.
The costumes are nothing short of a joke. Take a look at the "slickers .... a.k.a. dust coats" you see snap fasteners of a design at close up that did not exist until the 1960's. And at all times, the "cowboys" clothes are pristinely clean, as if they just took them off the line or wearing for the first time after they bought them. You also see buttons on the shirts with 4 holes as opposed to just two, which did not exist until well into the 20th century.
Of the guns, all so very new in appearance. They miraculously give no recoil when fired.
There is a scene early in the movie of a guy viewing a train through binoculars that are clearly 20th century make/design, fitted with a late 20th century nylon lanyard. As that train steams along, you can see an electrical switch box which did not exist at the time of the movie setting.
You see a guy in a red shirt drinking from a bottle in a bar and is clearly drinking from a Grolsh brand beer bottle with the flip top lid that did not exist until 1897, and the liquid within is obviously not beer because it is way too pale... possibly just water..... Notwithstanding that Grolsh beer did not arrive in the USA until well into the 20th century.
The train with the number 486 is the famous Silverton tourist train and they did not even bother to try to mask the Silverton signage on it's side.
OMG... this movie (if you could call it a movie) has so many goofs. This piece of dribble is just bad bad bad...
Give it a huge miss...
I gave it just one star, and that is being generous. High School projects are mostly far better.
