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]

Reception

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]
