Hannah's Law is a 2012 American/Canadian Western television film from the Hallmark Movie Channel. The movie stars Cameron Bancroft, Sara Canning, John Pyper-Ferguson, and Julian Black Antelope.
The film is centered on the character Hannah Beaumont. The film begins in 1866 in Abilene, Texas. The opening scene shows Hannah's parents and young brother being killed by the McMurphy gang. Later in the film, Hannah is a grown woman and a bounty hunter. She has taken an interest in finding the McMurphy gang members who brutally murdered her family. Unlike her fellow bounty hunter competitors, Hannah likes to bring the people she captures alive so they can face justice. She eventually faces the McMurphy gang and learns her brother is actually alive.[1]
Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times called it "a tasty western tale" with no mailed-in performances.[2] Laura Fries of Variety wrote, "A clear attempt at an action-romance Western, the resulting pic is more like Fifty Shades of Dust."[3]
