![]() I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought Sith when they saw this recall. ![]() He’s wearing a long black coat and the typical one shoulder has more armor than the other look, which is probably to keep from restricting the movement of his left shoulder when he swings the hammer around. It’s hard to see most of the hammer design through the particle effects, but there’s a bright red circle in the center of it. He’s got some pokeball/”don’t do this” looking symbols on his armor, and really fancy glowy particle effects on his weapon. ![]() Forsaken = black and red and angry I guess? It seems like kind of an “evil” version of Jayce, I guess. I’m not entirely sure what theme they were going for here. It's worth watching solely for seeing Donald and Kiefer on-screen together, but not much else.Sorry for the post delay folks! My internet has been down for about the past week, but Forsaken Jayce’s preview has finally arrived! Overall, it's a fantastic cast acting their collective arses off, in a film which is resolutely unworthy of their talents. There's nothing original in the movie at all, and despite it not being very long (90 minutes) it drags in places. The acting in the film is universally good, but it's let down by the script, but that's only because that is an extension of an overly simplistic storyline. Unfortunately though Tillman's actions have convinced him that someone needs to stop McCurdy, and despite his father telling him not to, he heads home and retrieves his gun. John Henry arrives and is happy to find his father will live. The Reverend leaves, but Tillman stabs him in the back and leaves him to die. ![]() McCurdy refuses, saying it's gone too far for that.

Things reach a head when Tom, seeing Mary and John Henry reconnecting, agrees to sell his land to McCurdy, but then has a change of heart after the Reverend promises him he has nothing to fear from John Henry, after Tom and John Henry argue outside the Church. Eventually they beat him up, in front of the Reverend and Mary, who take him home, much to the distaste of Mary's husband Tom (Greg Ellis). Tillman and his gang antagonise him, but he refuses to bite. John Henry does his best to keep under the radar, but his return worries McCurdy. Helping him are his gaggle of local hardmen, lead by Frank Tillman (Aaron Poole), but supervised by hired gunman 'Gentleman' Dave Turner (Michael Wincott). Although some people have sold out, the majority refuse (including William, who was once a friend of McCurdy), so more direct action is taken. The town is under the thumb of local rich man James McCurdy (Brian Cox) who is seeking to buy up all the local land, knowing that a rail-road will be coming to the town. He reconnects with his lost love Mary Alice Watson (Demi Moore), but is saddened to find she's married with a young son.
