The narrative voice over, horsemanship, and dual character portrayals with 4th wall interviews made for an entertaining hour. Even learned a few things. Maybe a series should be made to expand on everything during that family feud.

It always amazes me how many historical events have been untold in film. As someone who loves the Wild West and is from Arizona, this was a fascinating watch. There were so many unique moments in the telling of this true story, from the modern setting in a significant scene, to the cast/characters themselves being "interviewed", giving us commentary. If you are a history buff, a western movie fan, or just a film fan in general, I highly recommend giving this one a watch. Beautiful horse riding, cinematography, great acting, and, of course, a great story that has been overlooked for far too long.

If this is the current state of makin westerns in America, I'm going to have to go back to reading books. The story itself may (or may not) be true. Even the filmmakers say they don't really know what the truth is. But this much is true. They don't know squat about making movies, either. The "actors" (if they can really be called that) are uninspired and unconvincing as either lawmen or outlaws. Just a bunch of Commiefornia wannabes playing dress up and slowly reading lines off a teleprompter. I guess if that's good enough for the White House these days, why not? But the freeway noises and pictures of a modern chain link fence in the background of the Owens-Blevins shootout was laughable. These guys didn't even try. They just fooled around for nine days spending the money any investors in this production paid them compiling a piece of unwatchable garbage. Sure glad it wasn't any of my money! It may not deserve a one star ranking. But sure as God made little green apples, it doesn't deserve anything better than a 3. I'm just giving out a 1 because of all the 9's and 10's which were probably posted by relatives of the "actors" who don't want their loved ones' feelings to be hurt too much. Absolute rubbish!

We have all heard about the Hatfields and McCoys and the Gunfight at the OK corral. So how do we not know about the deadliest blood feud in American History?! The Pleasant Valley War lasted nearly 10 years and best estimates are that nearly 50 people perished....yet the story has come close to being lost from history. John Marrs and Travis Mills have written and produced a film that works to rectify this oversite. Part documentary/ part drama, PVW is a powerful telling of best friends turned deadly enemies. Though complex, the story moves quickly and is easy to follow and strong acting in main roles brings the men to life. This is a very nice addition to Travis Mills' collection of work!

A true story that is such a good blend of action and narration with a superb musical score that keeps you on the edge of your seat. A piece of history few people have heard of. One of Travis Mills best works.

Starts with a great storyline, and adds multiple layers of historically accurate (and assumptive) information about the War via interviews and VO. Excellent at all levels: acting, score and post.

After watching this on August 27th and having a few days to reflect on the experience: The Pleasant Valley War was told as a documentary but reminded me of sitting around a social gathering of those passionate about the history of the area. The actors not only portray the events but become those larger than life characters of the wild west. The mix of the modern day world with the respect of the historical events is outstanding. Having that connection to the past being able to walk the same streets, see where those events took place and where the movie was filmed. It is an experience of stepping back into the past. I highly recommend this movie, if you are not familiar with the history to become familiar with it. Then I suggest you re-watch it and fall in love with it over again.

An integration of history and creativity, of documentary type interviews and awesome acting, of action and emotional interchange. All done in the year of COVID amidst the trials and tribulations of 12 Westerns in 12 Months! WELL DONE!!

We may not know exactly why, but it happened and this true story, this deadly "war" is told in a very entertaining and interesting way.
