I put this on expecting to turn it off after ten or twenty minutes but was engaged enough to watch it to the end.
It's not brilliant but it is fun, some of the other criticisms are unfair but some accurate, the director has been far too ambitious as evidenced by too many cheap looking FX shots (that said some are pretty good) and action sequences.
Given the obvious source material of High Noon I think sticking closer to that story line and racking up the tension with less reliance on dynamic scenes would have been better. This of course would have required half decent acting which for the most part was pretty ropey, but the three leads are competent particularly Elizabeth Mouton.
Criticisms aside this film is better than many films a hundred or even a thousand times the budget and wouldn't look out of place on late night TV.
All in all a good effort.
