This is based on a true story of the Rufus Buck (Charlie N. Townsend) gang. Rufus convinced a few guys of Native American and African American mix that they could raise an army and combat the United States, keeping the Oklahoma Territory closed to white settlers. He led a reign of terror, at least we are told because the film shows very little of it. But the ghost of a dead drunk grave digger (Danny Trejo) tells us it was so. We see them hang a man and steal his horse and kidnap a woman, but they never rape her, the rapper other women instead as they want to sell her virginity. Virgins were as rare then as they are now. The film does address several cultural and civilization issues including a single mention of the infamous Carlisle, Pennsylvania school used to erase Native American culture.

The film was done poorly. It didn't show the injustices that caused the rise of the gang but simply mentioned it was a by-line.

Guide: No swearing or nudity. Rape scene.

Decent Story "B" western... The movie had a pretty good story line. I liked how they presented the viewpoints of different groups and people fairly and realistically, although a bit difficult to swallow at times. It looked like pretty low budget otherwise, but the actors were very well cast I think and most of them did a pretty good job. People have sort of likened it to a Cage movie where you can't quite decide if it's good or bad. But at the end, I'm glad I saw it. It had a realistic message which was explored somewhat with the interactions between the different groups and different interests. I think a good point it made is that getting along is largely determined on an individual by individual basis and how they've decided to fit in into an imperfect world. Sometimes the good guys had good points, sometimes the bad ones did. Nobody's perfect, and this was a good exploration into the complex communities which existed and vied for influence in the twilight years of the Wild Wild West. Some people will surely find it a bit cringe that any of us ever acted this way, but this is just fact. I didn't regret seeing it, let's just put it that way. I would give it 3-4 stars for the actual production, but the story/dialogue/performances really rose above the other issues with sets/wardrobe and were more like around a 6 or so. I'd say this is just about average all things considered; Acceptable.
