“Far Haven” (*** out of four) was a sharply done Western about a disgraced gunslinger (Bailey Chase) who moves back to the title town to avenge an attack on his father-in-law (Bruce Boxleitner) and wage a one-man war and resistance against a corrupt sheriff (Chris Mulkey) and his evil forces throughout the town. Permeated with the usual Western cliches of gun-battles and saloon fights but it’s fierce and exciting with some strong dialogue from writers Dustin Rickert and William Shockley and anchored by a commanding lead performance from Chase. Invigorating music score from Tom Gire is a definite plus throughout.
