this movie uses hot young stars to cover up for horrible writing. the group of actors in this movie is very talented. the musical talent in the acting group is actually even more impressive. adding randy Travis into the mix, who always seems to play either a very good guy or a very bad one with usher was nice. you see Ashton kutcher playing a reckless young man with a good heart, similar to his many other rolls in movies. you see van der beek get the lead roll because of his state of supremacy of Dawson's creek. the writing in this film was based basically on a few historical facts and nothing more. for anyone that wanted to actually know anything about the Texas rangers, what they had to do, what they were faced to go up against, this movie falls flat. the introduction to the film was easily seen, of course van der beeks parents are going to be killed so he has to join the rangers. the ending is what was so tough to digest. the preacher dies, and van der beeks character takes command of the rangers even though he has only been member a few months. good decision making is smart. a well thought out plan usually works better than a quick reply. but, the commander had two other men with more experience. wouldn't they have taken command? oh well, nice movie unless you wanted honesty.
