I like the rugged sheriff and the female deputy. But the male deputy over-rednecked his part.
There's some good subplots, and the acting is good in places. The one gruff fueding patriarch acted very well. He was true to character, and very believable! I had seen the other patriarch, played by Graeme (Graham?) Greene (sp) in several other things, and he's always consistently good. But I liked this other fellow.
I was surprised that this wasn't a series! Hello????? There's plenty about the characters that would develop and round out nicely in a full or mini-series. They missed an opportunity in not doing this. Yes, there was over-acting at times by most characters. Overall, though, it was entertaining.
I read a couple of other reviewers complaining about the music. I was so engrossed in this movie that I didn't notice any music. So, it clearly wasn't a problem for me.
One character seemed to leap over a railing after being shot, and that didn't seem plausible at all. I need to watch that part again.
