Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Not your typical western.
Hell on the Border follows the western gunslinger vs lawman theme, but beyond that, it was not the typical Cowboy & Indian film, nor the usual Tombstone Arizona Marshal genre. The plot, characters, acting, and historical reference was interesting, and the action was good. Based on the legendary character of Bass Reeves, the first black deputy U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi River, who was credited with arresting more than 3,000 felons in Arkansas and the Oklahoma Territory, the movie is about the beginning of Bass Reeves' lawman career. The story addresses harsh obstacles and attitudes that Mr. Reeves had to overcome, with ample gunfights throughout.

It was --- ok
and that's all. I think the production values left something to be desired and I didn't feel that the actor captured Bass Reeves. Maybe it was too much like an origin story. Wait for network TV.
Slow at times. Fairly cliché. Started me to thinking about Hang 'em High. Liked Perlmans character. A few really hard to accept moments in the story line but overall an ok western
