It's the usual combo of high concept and low execution, and not even Jonathan Kaplan's background as an exploitation director can bail him out.

A tale about women in the West is a good idea for a genre that's been male-dominated, but not in Kaplan's shallow picture that looks like a fashion spread.

Frankly, if this flick is somebody's idea of "pro-woman," my guess is that that certain "somebody" probably doesn't know all that many women.

Great-looking leads in a silly showcase

Boring Western. Could be empowering, but it's not.

awful "girl power" western, with too many girls and not enough power.

It's hard to maintain the proper mood when your 'bad-***' heroines inspire fits of giggles.

So this is the female version of 'Young Guns' haha, sounds cliche and this is totally, every one in the book checked. To be fair you knew this was coming ever since they made the brat pack western, there had to be a posse of ladies.The film looks fine with fair costume, location and stunts but the plot is so average

I like the idea of the rebellious women in such a male dominated era and the toughness of Madeline Stowe here, it's not a film that holds your interest too well.
