Has a bit of a shocking to the senses beginning, but a really good storyline. It's all about the hunt with some interesting characters. Great job Robert Johnson in the wedding. Includes the historical character Marshal Bass Reeves. I was glad to see the end wrapped you the characters nicely, at least the ones the survived. Isaiah Washington did an excellent job as Deputy U. S. Marshal Bass Reeves, including capturing his appearance.

A good all-around independent movie with quality cinematography, music, locations, and character development. Great to see a movie shot in Texas with local support.

Certainly worth your time, but definitely an R rating so not good for the little ones.

I paid to watch this on Amazon, and was happy to do so. I've admired Mr Washington's acting over the years and took a chance on this. I was rewarded by doing so.

This was a gritty, dirty, and a realistic feeling Western. The history of Bass Reeves is a story trove waiting to be exposed, and Mr Washington did a fine job doing so.

We have been conditioned to believe Westerns to be a slick affair. This movie reflected the grime of living back then. It's a much needed realistic move reflecting the times.

My only regret is that Mr Washington didn't start out earlier in Bass Reeve's life. The potential for sequels is ripe with this subject.

I encourage anyone to watch it. It's worth it.

I can only assume the reviews giving this 9 and 10 are paid for, or know the cast/crew. I realise it's a subjective matter, but I don't know how anyone could give this film more than a 5.

As it stands, it's the first western I haven't been able to finish. The writing is awful, the direction is all over the place and the music feels like it was added by someone who hasn't watched movies since the 80s and 90s. It's soulless.

The only thing that saves it from getting a 1 from me is opening 20 minutes, which made me think I was going to be watching a darkly engaging, if basic, western. It was a strong opening. I'm really not sure what went wrong. Perhaps the team thought they were making a statement piece, when they should have been concentrating on the entertaining the viewer.

I'll keep waiting patiently for a film that does justice to Bass Reeves.

I was unfamiliar with Bass Reeves prior to this, but I truly hope Isaiah Washington makes more movies about this incredible lawman. The movie was intense, and sometimes was even horrifying. It definitely does not offer a glamorized view of life in the Wild West. It was very suspenseful and had some truly evil characters. Beautiful scenery throughout and the cinematographer did a wonderful job. Makes me miss my home state of Texas. Well done to the cast and crew. I hope Mr Washington will direct more movies. He certainly has a knack for it. And his portrayal of Bass Reeves was authentic and thoughtful.

As in: He wanted to do the movie ... talking about Mr. Washington of course and no pun intended as always. The movie tells the story of someone I had no idea existed - so we get a Western movie ... and a bit of a history lesson (not sure how close to reality this is - but it is well told, shot and edited if that means anything to you).

Action wise it works too - there may be a bit too many flashbacks. But even that is needed I reckon ... to get the scope and everything the man had to go through. Even today there are themes ... there are issues with people that may look ... different. Even more so with current things going on around the world politically ... but having one to be the hero and the one hunting (hunter) instead of being the hunted ... well that is a nice thing for sure ... especially when the movie delivers ... and it does (yes it is still flawed)
