Hannah's Law (2012)

An excellent cast, production values and tight, sensitive direction made for a very exciting film. Then the anvil dropped. Hannah's brother wasn't killed! He's an outlaw. Hannah will now search for him in a film which was never produced or a t.v. spinoff series made. Those of us who hoped that Hannah would be able to have a different life were disappointed. (Just saw the film here in Australia -July 2018)

Finally, a western where the hero is a small, but strong young woman. The cast was wonderful especially Sara Canning, and the actor who played Doc Holiday. I have since seen him in two other movies and this is truly his best. I am now a fan of his and Sara Canning. And a young black woman as a stage coach guard! The history of black people in the west is mostly ignored by Hollywood. Good going Hallmark. I wish you would do more movies like this one. And one reviewer was sure this was a prelude for a series. Looks like after 8 years you were wrong, as was your review. But I would like to see these actors in another movie.

Remember the WB network? They researched how FOX and UPN were able to attract young audiences with 90210 and Smallville respectively?. WB tried their hand at capitalizing on the younger audience with TV series pilots featuring a young Aquaman (Mercy Reef), The Lone Ranger, and Heaven forbid, a young Barnabas Collins in a teen oriented Dark Shadows. That is what this movie resembles. First off, a TV movie made in Canada which looks like a pilot for a prospective series. A young bounty hunter searches for the men who killed her family. She gets help from a young Wyatt Earp and a young Doc Holliday. Oh please, and this pilot(?) is setting up for a teen oriented series with the bounty hunter looking for her brother who wasn't killed by the bad guys, but has become an outlaw himself. As usual Billy Zane and Danny Glover are wasted.

The locations the filming and the acting are all OK its the storyline that is corny and totally unbelievable. that this little slip of a girl is a bounty hunter who can out run out gun and out fight these so called hardened killers. and to cap it off living in the same town is another slip of a girl who apparently is the stagecoach driver, wearing a 12 gauge over her shoulder and a sawed of shotgun on her hip who happens to saunter into the saloon and orders drinks, now i know were supposed to be politically correct but i cannot believe that in a time before 1879 a black girl bristling with guns could walk into a saloon without serious problems. its like Bad Girls 1994 and Quick and the Dead 1995 you have to suspend disbelief then it becomes watchable, but only just.
