Summary: good yarn
Comment: Surprisingly good story told with intense quietness. Despite a previous review, this was filmed entirely in the Gold Coast hinterland of Queensland, Australia (not New Zealand), hence the many Australian actors in minor roles (including aussie soap opera heart-throb Brett Tucker as Ben Yodder).

Summary: The Outsider
Comment: I fell in love with this movie when I saw it on the Hallmark Channel. I am a big fan of westerns and I just had to have it in my personal library! Great performances by Tim Daly and Naomi Watts. This movie is a keeper for me.

Summary: excellent adaptation
Comment: This movie is based on the book The Outsider by Penelope Williamson. The book was excellent, and the movie is a faithful and well-rendered adaption of the story. Amish mother and widow Rachel is getting by, missing her husband and trying to keep their ranch going with the help of her young son, but generally content with her life. Then gunslinger Johnny shows up. He's wounded and needs help, and she nurses him back to health. To pay her back he agrees to stay and help out on the farm during their busy season. The two fall in love despite her strict religion and society and his difficult past -- a past that comes back to haunt them all.
Williamson's characters seem very real, and you want these two strikingly different people to find happiness together. The acting in the film is excellent, the portrayal of life on the frontier realistic. It's a great Western whether or not you're a fan of romance.
