Jeff H.

This movie is a little dated now, but at its release it would have struck a cord with heartland America. Since its release, farming has become a corporate affair. This film is something of a footnote to the painful transition from family farming to the business of farming. The film mostly focuses on the personal experience of a bankrupt farmer (Gere) and how he becomes an outlaw, with little to explain what got him into foreclosure. Though Richard Gere has his detractors, he is a fine actor, and give a solid performance in this drama. The film moves linearly with good pacing, a good mix of action and dialog, and draws the audience into viewing Gere and his brother as Robin Hood types. Slowly, Gere becomes a true outlaw, not just a man forced into crime by circumstances. This movie appeals to Gere fans, and anyone who enjoys rooting for the underdog.
