Hostile Territory

Good movie!

This was a surprisingly good Western. The acting was solid for the most part. On what looked to be a modest budget, the movie delivered a good storyline, solid action sequences and great cinematography. Don't understand some of the negative reviews. Not everything can be a CGI extravaganza interlaced with one-liners.

The is seriously flawed. The plot is ridiculous. The direction/Director is very poor. The acting varies in quality from below average to above average. The history is basically fictional and never happened. 1. There were no Apaches north of New Mexico Territory or east of it. That's totally screwed up and by doing that an insult to the Apache tribe and those living in the actual geographical area where the fiction is placed. That area of Montana belonged to multiple tribes like Souix, Shoshone, Crow, Blackfoot and Comanche. These tribes more often and in habit didn't murder children but adopted them into their tribes. 2. As far as I'm aware no such orphanage ever existed in Montana at this time immediately after the Civil War. Consider that at the film's fictious time line Gen. Custer was still alive and the area very dangerous as history easily tells. 3. Why do Directors and writers hate real history? Was it so boring and bland and lacking good and great deeds that you cannot tell a real story that's true, exciting and worth watching or listening using real people and events? If I was a movie maker I could think of a thousand movie plots based on real events worth telling. Hollywood and their low ilk seem helpless and pathetic, including this movie's director. 4. There are thousands of authentic guns available for any movie for any time era, or can be accurately and authentically faked. This Director has screwed up props, places, clothing, language, transportation, cultures and more so badly that it lowers the value of watching this movie acutely. The movie is basically an all encompassing lie containing many small multiple lies. It could easily and cheaply been much better with a very little effort, research and better ethics.

Simple low budget movie based on a true story. I was skeptical because of the low ratings but I actually enjoyed this movie. It even had me tearing up in a few places. Made me want to learn more about the Orphan Trains too.

A bit slow & drawn out (1 h 34 min seems like 2 hrs) but not too bad, overall just OK. Can add that the scenery & photograpy was good, lots of drones shots in filming the snowy landscape. Wanted to give 5.5 out of 10.

I don't know what people expected when going in to this movie, but a present rating of 4.3 is nothing but insulting. The cinematography and the music is 10/10, nothing more, nothing less. The acting was really good from some of the actors, not as good from others. What do people expect from a low budget movie like this? I read someone saying that the movie was slow. I on the other hand felt that it passed by too fast. It could literally had been at least an hour longer because it felt to me as if they tried to add too much into the movie which made it feel as if it was a bit rushed. With a larger budget and another hour added it could've been great. I must admit that the action scenes wasn't really Good, but i mean it's good enough. It's the message and the cinematography that got to me in this one. It's a well deserved 6.5 or a 7. I chose to give it a 7. It's well worth a watch if you don't expect 24/7 action.

The movie at first intrigued my girlfriend and I do to us liking westerns and violence but this movie was so historically and accurate that it honestly became laughable a little past the halfway mark not only was it historically inaccurate but it was also a culturally inaccurate and play too much on emotions when most western movies are supposed to faze away from emotion horrible development horrible director all around a horrible movie, where was this movie supposed to be filmed? I never knew they were mountains that look like the Southwest in Missouri. Savior Life 2 hours and skip out on this movie We turned it off and couldn't even finish the last 10 minutes because we were laughing too much I wouldn't be surprised if I saw some somebody wearing Air Force ones in the movie.

For me this was an enjoyable movie. I thought the entire cast did a great job and the music was good also. I really enjoyed the old pictures that were up at the beginning of the movie. It is not a typical western as I expected. I went into the movie without knowing anything about it nor did I watch the preview on IMDB until the movie was over. The current rating of 4.3 seems quite low to my and I give it a solid 7!
