This is a Nicolas Cage western, and being able to say you have seen a Nicolas Cage western is about the only reason to watch this movie, other then a strong performance from young Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Cage's daughter. This is a revenge movie, a shitty variant on 'Unforgiven' that feels like it's adapted from a pulp western paperback from the 1950's, but was actually written for the screen by a man who likely read a bunch of pulp western paperbacks from the 1950's. This movie radiates cheapness and only on rare occasion do its various clichés elicit some amusement. I admire Nick Searcy's commitment to his exposition heavy role as a Marshall. *1/2
