Probably Seagal's last great movie

I pretty much agree with this. Not only that, but it is definitely his one
greatest
movie of all. Harry Dean Stanton's part is also wonderful. Levon Helm is great. And the vignettes of the miners' lives in the end credits are deeply touching. Great music. Seagal's musical performances and Stanton's great rendition of
Kentucky Waltz
at the end are excellent. -

Glad you agree. The still shots in the opening and end credits were a great little piece of history to look at and the music added to it. Thought I was the only one who felt that way. I was never able to finish
The Patriot
which he made a year after this film. From what I saw of it, it didn't have the same impact of his earlier films and I ended up being put off from finishing the rest of the movie as well as watching anything he made after that. A majority of his films from the 2000's were movies that were straight-to-video flops and it just wasn't the same. -

I thought I was the only one who thought this movie was special and Seagal's best. Thanks.

Totally agree with you: In my opinion this is A 'different' kind of Seagal film; more depth, character development, slower paced, a country-film, but still with plenty of action; one of my personal favorites. Seagal composed most of the music; the songs are very good and poignant. Underrated Seagal film and his last good movie: 2 1/2 out of 4 stars.
