Henry Myers lives a hard life. Getting through life on the frontier however he can... even if it means robbing a bank. After his latest heist goes wrong and his partners betray him and leave him for dead, Henry is surprised to find extraordinary kindness from a widow and her children. With the influence of this family, Henry begins to question the choices he's made in his life. Just when things begin to make sense again, it's all ripped away from him when his old partners show up. Will he seek the revenge he desires or finally find his redemption?
Strengths:
This story goes far beyond proving the gospel can be intertwined with a western. The casting is excellent, especially with Myers and the family that takes him in. Erin Bethea's (Fireproof) daughter is memorable and heartwarming. Full of irony, contrasting themes and characters, this movie will induce a wide array of emotions as the storyline progresses toward redemption and forgiveness amidst seemingly impossible odds. Two main themes shape the plot: there is no sin so great that it cannot be forgiven; and God's greatest gift is the gift of change. This classic is a must-see for anyone who has a hard time forgiving or being forgiven
Weaknesses:
The directing (or perhaps editing) of the movie makes it slightly hard to follow in just a few places.
