Andie MacDowell, Beulah Quo, Daniel O'Haco

Viewers of this Hollywood-processed movie should prepare to suspend disbelief: the four prostitutes turned outlaws will have flimsy excuses for being adept in gun slinging, stunt riding, and world k...( read more  read more... )nowledge. But this Western trips over a poor script of laughable plot points (secret plans are left out for wandering eyes, loot is taken without resistance) and a story that sticks forever in second gear. Never better or worse than Young Guns, with these intelligent actresses only part of the scenery. Drew Barrymore comes off the best, along with James LeGros as a meek rancher. --Doug Thomas

    Good actors but weak plot.
  • December 1, 2007
    A silly feminist western with no good ideas and plenty of elements lifted from much better films; "The Wild Bunch" in particular is heavily plundered. Of course, most of the men here are either stupid or vicious, or both. There's absolutely no feeling for period and the action sc...( read more)enes are badly handled. The plot is non-existent; the women just take it in turns to get captured and free one another.

    Silly, but the cast is fun.
  • February 27, 2007
    Trashy, sensationalist and rather sexist all-girl version of Young Guns, casted by actresses who went on to much better things (apart from Andie MacDowell, who has always been crap.)

    Was only really interested in seeing this because of the cast. I'll pretty much watch anything Drew Barrymore is in and recently i've been enjoying quite a few of Mary Stuart Masterson's films.
    For what it is, it's not bad. Obviously it's far from good and if you're looking for q...( read more)uality western then perhaps you better look else where because I doubt very much that many people would describe this film as quality. But if you're looking for cheap entertainment and are prepared to suspend disbelief then this is as good as any.
    The film follows four prostitutes who are forced to go on the run after one of them shoots a local man. In most westerns you really wouldn't expect much to happen after an incident like this. But with a religious crowd gathering a large following, they demand justice. As the girls flee, they are followed by a couple of, what can only be described as, bounty hunters. They attempt to make a fresh start, by stealing from a bank (not in the way you'd expect but still). After this point, things get a bit contrived as the writers begin the throw in way too many details than is necessary.
    One of the girls is taunted by men she used to roll with. Another discovers her land is not rightfully hers without her husband. There is also love interest thrown in and problems with a dead father. I don't think they could have given the characters more ghosts if they tried.
    It is only really explained why one of the girls is able to shoot like a pro and ride a horse better than the professionals in the film. I guess all the others just have natural ability with this sort of thing.
    The performances aren't terrible. They're not great either. For the most part all of the actors involved, i've seen them do better.
    Still, even with its flaws, I didn't hate it. Can't say i'll be watching it again any time soon though.

    Thought this was an very well made movie. And I believe that there were plenty of women in the day who could pull off the very things these girls did. I've seen this movie well over 50 times or more, and I'll watch it 50 more....lol.
    Only wish they made a sequel!
