Review: Stagecoach: The Texas Jack Story BD + Screen Caps

Stagecoach: The Texas Jack Story is hardly a great western, in fact it’s a movie filled with a bunch of western clichés and some so-so acting by lead Trace Adkins. Still, there’s a moderate amount of entertainment if only to see Judd Nelson as an outlaw.

PLOT SYNOPSIS

After retiring from his life as an outlaw, ranch owner Nathaniel Reed (TRACE ADKINS) quietly leads an honest existence with his devoted wife, Laura Lee (MICHELLE HARRISON). But his gun-slinging past suddenly comes back to haunt him when he learns that the man he once maimed during a stagecoach robbery is now a U.S. Marshal (KIM COATES) who will stop at nothing to find vengeance, After a violent shootout brings tragic consequences, Nathaniel returns to his old ways and becomes Texas Jack: the most wanted outlaw in the West.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – 2.0/5

This release comes with a matted, semi-reflective, slip cover. Features-wise, there’s only a Behind-the-Scenes (17:52; HD) featurette and the Trailer (1:35; HD).

 

VIDEO – 4.0/5

Stagecoach: The Texas Jack Story comes to Blu-ray through Cinedigm presented with a 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer (MPEG-4 AVC codec). This basically looks like any other direct-to-video release: it’s not entirely sharp but still well defined and colors generally move toward the natural spectrum given it is a western. There were no obvious signs of flaws like aliasing or artifacts so it is at least clean looking.

AUDIO – 3.75/5

The disc includes a basic but effective DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which isn’t great, but serviceable enough providing primarily clean dialogue levels coming through the center channel with some minimal items in the front and rear channels with ambient noises and the generic western score.

 

OVERALL – 2.5/5

Overall, Stagecoach: The Texas Jack Story is hardly a great western, in fact it’s a movie filled with a bunch of western clichés and some so-so acting by lead Trace Adkins. Still, there’s a moderate amount of entertainment if only to see Judd Nelson as an outlaw. The Blu-ray released through Cinedigm offers good video and audio transfers and limited bonus features.
