Mouse-voiced piece of nothing 'girl bosses' her way through the Wild West. I don't know anything about anyone in this cast, except I understand Trace Adkins is a country music singer. So I had no expectations either way. The female protagonist is either miscast or cannot act at all. At least I THINK she was the protagonist; the plot is so thin and the dialogue so unbelievable that I gave up. All I know is that actress did not have the presence to pull-off convincing me that she could have held her own as a lone woman reporter braving the illustrious characters of the American Wild West. Speaking of which, the aforementioned country music singer was the only one of the male actors who had the aplomb to convince me he could have lasted half a day in the West himself. And he was marginal at best.
Don't get me started on the dialogue and costumes. You'd think doing period piece involves at least doing a modicum of research on the look and feel of time you're aiming to capture. Apparently not, as no effort seems to have been made here. All of the dialogue & costuming reads and too modern. At one point, after I'd lost interest, I looked up and thought hubby had changed to a modern show. Nope, same woman, sporting loose waves and modern make-up, drinking in a saloon with some cowboy. Granted, I'm no historian or re-enactor, but I'm pretty sure women in the later 1800s didn't look like they just stepped out of LA salon with a fresh blow out and collagen injections. This movie is beyond ridiculous.
