“Hostile Territory” (**1/2 out of four) was a spectacularly filmed but emotionally sparse Western set in post-Civil War America in which a Union soldier (Brian Presley) is presumed dead and his children are subsequently sent away on the orphan train but he comes back to attempt to intercept the train and reunite his family before it is too late. Beautiful cinematography from Mark David and solid production values make this worth watching for a little while but story and dramatic center are not all that involving, especially as film goes on for over two-and-a-half hours.
