I was hopeful too...

Warning: Spoilers
Never saw Cole Hauser in anything but Yellowstone and recognized Stephen Doroff name so gave it a chance. Both were good for what they did with the script. The cinematography was good but the script failed. The two leads were so-so, their character names were Reno and Vegas. Think what you want about the names/background because there is not any more information in the storyline. The writers lazily used modern gambling city names for that context.

Film cliched everything - young Bonnie and Clyde gamblers, lots of confederate flags for the bad guys, cool Apache Indians/mysticism, oppressed black man even added the obligatory lesbian scene with very attractive black woman. And lots of characters/scenes who added nothing. Way too much... fewer cliches would have gone a lot farther for a better script. I usually do not spot goofs, but one scene had bad guy shot out of a second floor window. The camera stayed on the window to long and you could see the desert landscape - there was no room. Sadly can't recommend but had so much potential.
