Truce is a wholesome movie that any family can see without excessive violence or profanity. It portrays the modern American rancher in an authentic manner. In the story, Harry Dodds played by the great Buck Taylor(Gunsmoke, Tombstone) struggles to hold onto his modest Northern California cattle ranch and raise the granddaughter, Samantha Droke, that he hardly knows. Buck Taylor gives a nuanced and layered performance that taps into the human condition. Samantha Droke is equally good as Jenny. Their relationship evolves throughout the film as they deal with personal tragedy and hardship. Truce has an excellent supporting cast that includes Barry Tubb(Top Gun, Grand Champion), Brad Johnson(The Rough Riders) and Academy Award Winner, George Kennedy. The cinematography is stunning as it reflects the landscape as another character in the film. The music is original and it falls right into place with the story and characters. This film will hold the audience's interest from start to finish.
