Pretty Good

I am not a huge fan of Westerns, but this was suggested by a friend. I had never even seen an independent film in the western genre before so I was interested. It was actually pretty good. It has all the good stuff - horses, shooting, love, and cowboys. The story was good and I think for a non studio release of a western it was great. I hope Stage Ham comes out with another. I don't want to give too much of the story away (and I didn't click the spoiler alert) for that reason. I didn't want people to skip over this comment because they didn't want to have the ending spoiled. The acting was great, and the production value was very good. It had the feel of a traditional western and it was a good first try. I highly recommend seeing this film. It is worth it... AND it supports the smaller filmmakers. I can't wait to read YOUR comments after you view it.
