This is a great movie for light family viewing. I saw the neutral and negative comments but I decided to give it a try and I don't regret it. It's not an Oscar winner nor an art-house flick. But if you want an easy escape for an evening, you won't go wrong with this. It's like a very good made-for-tv movie and I will recommend it to my friends. Thanks for the hard work from all the cast and crew. You did your job by entertaining us for a couple hours.

A rather banal story of goog vs evil and you know who wins! The bad guy with the Scottish brogue was the most interesting characterization.

I let this play in the background while I made dinner after I stopped being interested 12 minutes in. The music choices?? Just a stupid waste of time.

I wish this would have been picked up as a regular series. I loved it! Hot lawyer, good with a gun, high morals; plus a great supporting cast of characters. Too bad😞

It's a cute movie, but what lifts it from being a cutesy Hallmark or Lifetime thing is Nick as "Solomon" aka "Ex". Also the DA played by Gregory Alan Williams breathes life into his character.

I just happened to come across this movie by accident and I'm glad I found it. The wife and I both really enjoyed it. It was a light hearted and fun. It was a movie the entire family could enjoy. I could not wait for the showdown that you knew was coming at the end. Overall the wife and I gave it two thumbs up. A very enjoyable movie.

Somewhat entertaining but predictable. The music throughout the movie was awful. Similar to. Texas Ranger Walker. Skip.

It's not really that bad of a movie except for the music that plays in the background 98% of the time.

What is strange about this movie is the never ending sound track. The music plays in the background throughout the entire movie. It's corny and, after awhile, very distracting. The camera shots and scene editing often don't make sense. There are random camera angles and shots added that don't relate to the plot. The writing and character lines are like something written in high school with cheesy one liners and winks. Literal winks. I agree with some of the other reviews that this movie is more like a long pilot for a low budget sitcom. The plot is predictable. So is the ending. I don't recommend this movie.

This is what impressed me most about this film was that it rides the edge of being really hokey, but they pull it off really well. The plot line is really well done and the characters are maybe a little cliché, but they are really likable. I compare it to the western genre because the lawyer (Eric Close) comes across as the gunslinger riding into the town controlled by the Scottish robber baron (Tommy Flanagan). The lawyer/gunslinger is driven by the motive of getting the girl, who is his ex-wife (Tanya Clarke). There's the side kick from all the westerns played by Nick Searcy and Gregory Alan Williams does a great job in his role as the state's attorney. The western genre is my favorite type of film and I really enjoy when a film can expound on those values.
