Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I rate the Gunslingers series one of the best Old-West doku-drama's of all time, and certainly much better than the Redford "Old-West" series.I like many of the actors performances but particularly Jack Elliott portraying Bat Masterson, Nathan Sapsford as Bill Doolin, Eric Schneider as John Wesley Hardin and of course Walt Willey as Wild Bill Hickok, but I'm also a big fan of J.D. Marimon's Jim Masterson performance, and I would just love to see an entire episode dedicated to him.A big "thank you" to the producers for this series. I hope there will be a season 3. From the top of my head I could imagine such characters eg. Luke Short, "Curly Bill" Brocius, William Longley ,Dallas Stoudenmire and of course Jim Masterson just to mention a few.

I have gotten addicted to this show, it has a great balance of historical information and re-enactments to be informative and entertaining. As mentioned, the first-person accounts make it more interesting than a pure documentary. The episode concerning Bass Reeves was extremely informative as he is an important person of that era but not well known (some claim he was the basis of the Lone Ranger series). I was also "satisfied" with the Wild Bill Hickok story (viewers will understand the pun!).All in all, a highly enjoyable series on the old west! Definitely worth watching if you have any interest in that period.

very disappointed in this show and the new American west show as the stories don't follow history facts ,and the most appalling part is that wardrobe does not dress the actors in the clothes they wore in real life , if you google a name , such as billy the kid , Wyatt Earp you can see true historical photos of how the looked and what they wore , nothing like the clothes they wear in these shows even the wearing of guns is all wrong , if they want to make historical shows of the wild west , make it life like not all the dress and fake crap, none of these so called gunslingers wore their guns strapped to their thighs etc , they were all worn high up on the hip , and they all dressed like down and out bums as that's all they could afford to buy , oh and the Earp's were downright killers not goody goody two shoe people

This mini-series is very well made giving a feel of a nice balance of "first person" reenactment and documentary. That is exactly what I enjoy - it doesn't become a boring documentary with purely photos and historians speaking, but, includes the various gunslingers' lives acted out. I always feel that things one experiences visually tend to stick in the mind easier than just "flat" documentaries and this is one of those cases. I find myself remembering the acting parts more than the parts where historians give their bit. I'm not expecting a western movie, so, no complaints on story and acting. Even content is just perfect - I don't need the full gritty detail, just a high-level overview of the various outlaws. So, all in all, this works for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
