Review of Purgatory

Purgatory (1999 TV Movie)
7/10
a great idea,solidly done

Purgatory is a western about a gang of outlaws that,running away from the possey,find themselves in a city called Refuge. the Refuge is actually purgatory itself,a place where dead cinners get their last chance. So,there you can find legends like Doc Holiday,Jesse James,Wild Bill Hickok or even Billy the Kid. Outlaws doesn't have a clue about what's coming down... Here is a word about very good western. The idea is brilliant but not enough money is invested in it. Diretor Uli Edel is has managed with the budget he had and preformed solidly. Since Eastwood's triumphal "Unforgiven" there weren't many westerns made,especially good ones so it's a shame that more money wasn't invested in this project.
