The history, action, tactics, locales and descriptions are very entertaining.Why four stars, not five?1. Although a brutal family massacre is the motivation of the protagonists,the original murdering villains are identified but fade away immediately.(?to reappear and be developed in prequels and sequels?)Glimpses of them and the massacre are noticeably MIA.2. The subsequent villains spicing the journey are two dimensional.3. The plot requires belief in:a. the universal stupidity of outlaws,b. coincidence after serendipitous coincidence,c. uncanny one sided gun play, andd. unwavering heroic behavior toward "soiled doves."4. I believe5. so should you.
