Classic Western,
This review is from: Purgatory (DVD)
This is not your typical western but kind of reverse western. All these typical BAD GUYS ride into a typical town expecting the usual but finding just the opposite. It's definately a fresh approach and a pleasure to watch over and over. The funniest part was right at the end (of course) and is a MUST SEE for western fans.

what VCR,
By A Customer
This review is from: Purgatory (VHS Tape)
The only reason I came here today, was to purchase this movie. However, all I use is DVDs. I don't understand why a movie of this caliber, made in 1999, was not released on DVD.

Rein In Your Horses, Now...,

This review is from: Purgatory (VHS Tape)
Alright, first let me say I enjoyed this for what it was - a Tv movie. I liked the concept and the message enjoyed the overall execution, but a couple things really bothered me...1. `Doc' John Holliday was a dentist, not a medical doctor. 2. Why did the gunfight at the end take place, when it was already depicted that the Higher Power would protect the town's citizens so long as they didn't resort to violence (remember when Sam Sheppard stands in front of the church door to stop the baddies from tossing their bowie knives?)? And how could the citizens be harmed by the bad guys anyway, considering their true nature? 3. So Purgatory is located just south of Sweetwater, Texas? How could Ric Roberts and his gang ride into this place, and why didn't the posse follow them in? Its hard to believe such a huge gang could give the lawmen the slip and not leave a clear trail for them to follow. 4. Why would such a formidable (and large) gang of bank robbers put all the money they'd just swiped on one horse? Overall, as I said, I enjoyed this. The actors all do a good job -particularly Eric Roberts, who was the biggest misgiving I had going into this. He came off completely believable and seductively bad (which was good). Donnie Wahlberg does a lot with the little screen time he's given, as does Randy Quaid and the fella who plays `JJ' (the storekeeper). Sam Sheppard doesn't look a whit like who he's supposed to be portraying, but it didn't bother me. I like the notion that `The marginally good' are given a chance to separated from `the totally wicked,' and I like the supernatural theme of redemption. I thought the passage of the bad guys through the ghostly gates was very Twilight Zonish, and eerie, but I wish they hadn't shown us what was beyond all that smoke. It kind've ruined the effect. Overall, a good effort, worth renting, but I don't know about putting it up as one of the greatest westerns of all time. If you wanna see a really stellar made-for-cable western, check out John Cusack, LQ Jones, and John Goodman in `The Jack Bull.'
