Went into this with somewhat low expectations, but came away not feeling that I had wasted 80 minutes of my life. Not a high budget movie by any means, yet the production quality was pretty good. I didn't see the usual signs of a low budget movie: inept camera work, exceedingly cheap sets, high school level acting. The movie looked good, but to be fair, I spend a lot of time in Arizona and am familiar with most of the filming locations, so I'm a bit biased.
The actors looked to be well cast, although one of the bad guys was a bit over the top. The female lead was very well cast.
As far as the story goes, I agree with others that the story of the drifter was not as well fleshed out as it should have been. I would've liked seeing his part being more proactive and heroic. Overall, he was a likable character, but it was hard to tell if his actions in the second half of the movie were self-serving, or altruistic.
I don't think this movie rates a "10", but it's certainly better than the low ratings here, too.
