I didn't think much of this story, it was okay. It was just too unrealistic and the dialogue was kind of pathetic. Maybe the style has changed over the years, but this was basically a Cowboys and Indians Story, but instead of Cowboys, they were from the East and Midwest of the U.S. instead. Definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
