Great Actors but Very Weak Script

I love westerns and was very excited to see this as it starred two great actors.Burt Reynolds and Bruce Durn did all they could do, but this script is just a mess and the directing is even worse.

How did two veteran, block-busting actors of such caliber ever wind up in this?

I agree.Clint Walker and Peter Brown should have been in it.

Yeah! Cheyanne Bodie and Deputy Johnny Mckay.

I wanted to like this film, but I have to agree. Dern and Reynolds did their best, but the script needed more work or the director should have encouraged more ad lib. Very weak, but it had potential.
