what a weird film,the storyline in all reviews of this film seem to be talking about another film altogether,i never got the impression caleb (the tailor) was a violent gunfighter,more a broken man whose wife was murdered by nathaniel & the preacher,were the brother & sister angels / messengers of good or bad influences,the messenger nathaniel seemed evil but could have been misunderstood.it was interesting to see another estevez family actor getting some roles,he seemed a tortured soul who was easily led by nathaniel on some covert mission,a western with mystical overtones,who was good? who was bad?has anybody figured out what it was about?cheers

The reason the prior reviewer is confused about the marketing and the actual film being completely different is simple. The film was originally called, The Tailor, shot for about $10K. It was a cerebral, intense drama about a small-town tailor who is dragged into a eerie revenge plot surrounding his wife and the devil.

However, the film was sold to Indican Pictures. They unfortunately decided to rename it, and market it as some kind of gun-fighting action western, which it's NOT.

The filmmakers had no recourse, and so everyone is buying this film under a false pretense, and therefore it never received proper reviews, since audiences were expecting some kind of action western, and instead got an intellectual, drama with very little "gun- fighting" at all.

I would add, "Yuma" isn't even in the story-line. Indican even changed the trailer to the film to reflect Estevez as the main protagonist, which he's not. In fact, he's a minor antagonist and not even central to the actual film. Everything about the filmmakers intended marketing was destroyed by Indican in this process.

If you watch it as the indie drama it is, I promise a much different, even enjoyable experience.
