A revenge Western about a woman on a bloody, violent mission will always garner interest, so it is quite tragic when a film with such a simple story crumbles. Trail of Vengeance is based on true tales from the Old West, and follows a woman who gets caught up in a colonel's scheme to become a senator. He hires dangerous goons to do his bidding, which leads to a bloody exchange resulting in the murder of a good man while his wife, our protagonist, is left with bloodthirsty anger.
