If there ever was a movie that you want to give a 10 to but cannot, this is the one.
In the description, it stated anachronistic underbelly. That it was. When I first heard island odd the mainland, before I saw the license plates, I figured this was some outdated island somewhere off the U. S. Gulf Coast in the dirty south. That would have given this movie a ten. All the way around, this movie felt like a middle point for drug running cartels between Central America and mainland U. S. A. But, when I found out it was one of the islands of Hawai'i, I watched it less seriously. I've been in and seen the underbelly of the drug trade of Southern California and the Island of Oahu. No matter how anachronistic this movie did get, it was too much off to take it as a serious contender.
From the very start to the very end, this movie was a 10 star movie. It was well played out in the western genre it was stated to be in. There were interesting characters. There was an interesting plot. There was even a open door at the end left wide open for a nice little sequel.
There was a slight issue I had with the anachronistic props, because they were glaringly used wrong throughout the movie.
The main and eye blinding problem I had was that the location was just too far off. You could have changed the setting to prehistoric anywhere in Russia and had a better feeling anachronistic setting than any Island of Hawai'i. That was just too unbelievable.
