    Many things are left up in the air by movie’s end that it’s hard to imagine making this for any other reason than to introduce a series. But there’s also a pulpy enthusiasm surrounding its many twists and loopholes.

    Lifetime gives the [western] genre a try with the enjoyably chaotic Civil War-era potboiler Deliverance Creek.

    It's diverting enough while it goes by, even if you can see where the story's going long before it gets there.

    For fans of westerns, the production offers a reasonably gritty view of the period, and a few unforeseen twists. But it does little to whet one’s appetite for a series pickup.

    Deliverance Creek is what the TV biz calls a “backdoor pilot,” meaning that its real goal is for the story to continue as a weekly series. If it does, let’s hope it gets less murky.

I hope it becomes a series or at least more movies. I watched because of the actors in it, Wes Ramsey, and Ulrich. But I also love period pieces. The violence didn't bother me as that was the way it was back then. No need to sugar coat it. Even though bank robbery is wrong, I was so happy to see the bank owner get her comeuppance. She was a hateful woman. Really looking forward to more of this adventure.… Full Review »
