Product Description

 
Director Uli Edel (BODY OF EVIDENCE) helmed this tale of the Old West in 1999. Set in a town called Refuge, Wild Bill Hickok (Sam Shepard), Doc Holliday (Randy Quaid), and Jesse James (J.D. Souther) are among the inhabitants, even though they've long since passed away. The town is actually Purgatory, a middle ground for reckless outlaws who must prove themselves to be worthy of a place in Heaven, or face an eternity rotting in the pit of Hell. No one who resides in Refuge is allowed to carry a gun, nor is there any jail, or even swearing. So when a wild bunch of desperados turn up, led by Blackjack Britton (Eric Roberts), they are surprised at what they find. Britton and his men soon realize they are among some illustrious company, and set about taking the town for their own. The TNT channel originally aired this compelling sci-fi western that saddles up its horse and rides out of town to a satisfyingly explosive conclusion.

'It's The Last Chance You Got, Son'

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2001
The Bottom Line: Purgatory is not to be taken seriously. Its a fantasy, even if a western, but fun with a little eerie twinge thrown in.
Review: Refuge. Everyone's welcome. Free drinks at the saloon. Free rooms at the hotel. It's not just a town... it's a place, in the state of purgatory. It's a place of hard rules. But, you can make it. It just takes dedication... and following the rules...

Pilgrim's Progress in the Wild West

Date of Review:  May 30, 2002
The Bottom Line: A morality play, sort of a trip to the wild west via the Twilight Zone, and very well done with a good cast.
Review: Although PURGATORY is ostensibly a cowboy movie, it has deeper significances and someone could have transposed the plot (and maybe it has already been done) to a village almost anywhere in the world; imagine Brigadoon converted to the Old West.

Very Excellent Modern Western Movie With A Twist

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2000
Review: I have noticed that no one decided not to write about the movie Purgatory, so I shall be the first and do my best to try to convince you to watch this movie.

Purgatory is a modern day western with a twist. The title gives it away, at first...

Between somewhere and nowhere in the untamed West is the small town of Refuge. There, neither the sheriff nor his deputy carry a sidearm. There s no jail either, because shooting, carousing and bad blood are not in the town s character. What peaceful folks live there? Wild Bill Hickok. Doc Holliday. Jesse James. Billy the Kid. All long dead. All mysteriously given a chance to undo their violent pasts in Purgatory. All put to a stern test when Blackjack and his ornery gang ride into town.
