Two violent men... and a violated woman!

WesternWar

During the Civil War, Confederate soldiers escape from a Union prison and head for the Mexican border. Along the way, they kill a Union courier bearing the news that the war is over. Keeping the message a secret, the captain has his men go on and they soon find themselves in a battle with the Union search party who also is unaware of the war's end.

VIBE

A grim, unflinching look at the brutal realities of war and survival. This film feels like a dusty, blood-soaked trail where morality is a luxury few can afford. It's a tense, unforgiving journey into the heart of conflict.
