While I understand that tough measures were needed (at the time) in trying to pacify a lawless frontier region, this movie tries to justify lynching and summary execution without due process - and fails. It also fails miserably to address the race question by allowing the 'token' black into the first batch of Ranger entrants when the first black did not get into the organisation until well into the 20th century. This is a movie trying and failing to be 21st c. politically correct in a 19th c. gang war (good guys v bad guys). Non-riveting performances from the main players with a less than average, clichéd storyline, this is a very poor movie all round.
