The Big Screen's loss is television's gain. Originally intended to be a movie and based on a true story, it's an inspiration to watch. With all the blood and guts to hold the attention of teens, it still has pauses enough to let you see "inside" the characters' heads and hearts. It is presented in two parts.. I found myself chomping at the bit to see the second half. Beautiful photography and a Big Screen-worthy soundtrack enhance this tale of morality in the Old West. It was so refreshing to see heroes who live by a true code of ethics, doing right simply because it was the right thing to do, no matter the grit and grime their lives thrust them into. It was all the more impressive when you realize it was inspired by a true story. Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church both provide outstanding performances!
score 10/10
