Retribution Road is a 2007 western film directed by David A. Prior and starring Michael Gregory, John Castellanos, Leslie Easterbrook, and Burton Gilliam. The movie follows Sheriff Matt Austin, a tough lawman who is determined to bring justice to his town, no matter the cost. The film takes place in the Old West in the late 1800s. In the opening scene, Sheriff Austin stops a train robbery and captures the notorious outlaw Clayton Drumm (played by Gregory). Drumm is sentenced to hang, but he promises revenge on the Sheriff and his family. Soon after, Clayton's brother Tom (played by Castellanos) arrives in town to settle the score with the Sheriff for his brother's death.

As the tension between the two sides builds, a group of corrupt businessmen who control the town's economy and employment start to take advantage of the situation. They plan to burn down the town and blame it on the outlaws, allowing them to expand their businesses and make a profit. Sheriff Austin and Tom Drumm must put aside their differences and work together to stop the corrupt businessmen from ruining their town.

Retribution Road is a classic western with all the traditional elements that make the genre so popular. Gunfights, horse chases, saloons, and cowboy hats abound in this movie. The film also touches on themes of justice, revenge, and corruption, making it a more nuanced exploration of the Old West than some other movies of this genre.

The cast of Retribution Road is led by Michael Gregory, who brings a sense of gravitas to the role of Clayton Drumm. He is a hardened outlaw with a vendetta against the Sheriff, and his performance is both menacing and compelling. John Castellanos is also impressive as Tom Drumm, Clayton's brother who is seeking revenge for his sibling's death. The chemistry between the two actors adds to the tension in the movie and makes their scenes together some of the most memorable.

Leslie Easterbrook plays Maggie, the owner of the local saloon and love interest of the Sheriff. Her character provides a refreshing dose of femininity in a movie that is otherwise dominated by male characters. Burton Gilliam plays the local blacksmith who provides the comic relief in the film. His character is endearing and adds a lighthearted touch to the movie.

The film's production values are also noteworthy. The cinematography captures the sweeping landscapes of the Old West, and the score by David James Nielsen adds to the film's sense of epic grandeur. The action scenes are well choreographed, and the practical effects such as explosions and gunshots are impressive.

Overall, Retribution Road is a must-watch for fans of the western genre. Its classic elements and nuanced exploration of justice and corruption make it stand out among other movies of this type. The film's strong performances, production values, and action sequences make it a thrilling ride from start to finish.

Retribution Road is a 2007 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 14 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.9.
