Good story about corrupt officials
Modern day 'B' Western
What you have here is pretty much a 1940's B Western updated with modern day trappings, replacing your standard gang of conniving horse rustlers with a corrupt sheriff and a county veterinarian using subtleties in the law to 'legally' steal horses from local ranchers. Under the animal abuse provisions of Title 23, the animals are confiscated for minor ranch violations, and sold at a premium in other jurisdictions as the human victims find themselves defenseless and reduced to poverty. Unlike the old time Westerns, the villains of the piece don't necessarily look the part, they're dressed up as your average law abiding citizen, but with larceny in their heart and a lack of human compassion. It's not until the film ends that you're shocked into recognition that this was actually based on a true life case, at which time there comes an appreciation that the characters in the story were heroes in taking on corrupt law enforcement. A defining moment occurs at the end of the picture when the bully sheriff gets taken down by one of his intended equine victims. I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say that it was a real kick in the head.
Another worst film! Too many boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Not recommended!
This film start with a girl "Janna" saving a wounded soldier, and her father "Dell" collapse scene! As turnout, this film is about a corrupted police "Roger" want to possess the horses of Dell by falsify the horse medical report, and he eventually get paid for his wrong doing! Entire film film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the song playing at the background scene, overuse of the walking scene, and overuse of the flirting scene! Make the film unwatchable! Barely intense scene is, Janna fighting with Brock at the barn! At the end, Carl having gunfight with Roger! Roger shot Carl! Matt choking Roger with a rope! Roger eventually kill by Dell! Still have a post credit scene! The interview of Gary and Missy(the couple that the director dedicated to)! That's it! Another disappointed film!
