Title: "Witness" meets "Hired Hand"
Review: I like Tim Daly. I like Naomi Watts. I did not like this picture. And, the message, if in fact there really was one here was simplistic. Everything about the movie was utterly predictable, the love story, the powerful landowners wanting to push out the religious pacifists. These greedy murderous bullies pull pretty much every dastardly act during the duration of this movie---and of course, they get their just desserts. But, having both main characters emerge from critical injuries which the town doctor (David Carradine) says they cannot survive seems a bit much. But, in this movie, love triumphs over greediness and religious fundamentalism. It is also sad to see both David and Keith Carradine in such meaningless roles. But, then, they never have been big stars, so I guess it is necessary to get work when you can. As Naomi Watts' star soars, I cannot imagine this film being much of the springboard to her apparent stardom.
