Purgatory is a down-and-dirty Western with a twist The Twilight Zone's Rod Serling would have loved. A band of 19th-century desperadoes, led by the monstrous Blackjack Britton (Eric Roberts), takes a wrong turn while fleeing a posse and rides into an otherworldly, off-the-map town called Refuge. Sedate, almost repressed, and guarded by an unarmed sheriff (Sam Shepard), Refuge is a weird haven of hospitality with no jail, a literate shopkeeper (J.D. Souther), an erudite dandy of a doctor (Randy Quaid), a restless deputy (Donnie Wahlberg), and a beautiful young woman (Amelia Heinle) with no apparent family. In short order, Blackjack figures Refuge is his for the plundering. But the youngest of his gang, the innocent Sonny (Brad Rowe), slowly realizes the town's residents are, in fact, dead legends of the American West--Wild Bill Hickok (Shepard), Doc Holliday (Quaid), Jesse James (Souther), among others--spending a violence-free interim before being taken to Heaven (or Hell if they fail). A purely fun if slightly hokey piece of fanciful adventure, Purgatory's colorful cast plays the whole thing straight and gives this made-for-cable film (directed by Uli Edel of Last Exit to Brooklyn) some exciting, six-gun grit and emotional authenticity. --Tom Keogh

 Bought for mother in law December 28, 2008
She love it, I haven't ever watched it, but she remembered seeing it years ago, and it hasn't ever left her mind.
 more than a western December 3, 2008
purgatory is somewhat of a surprise. i am a fan of westerns, but you don't have to like cowboy pictures to appreciate this excellent made for t.v. movie. like most good westerns, purgatory is about far more than gun fights in the wild west. it is a love story, a tale of good vs evil, and a lesson on the thin line that often separates right from wrong. all of the actors give first rate performances that go above and beyond what is usually seen in movies that are produced for television. if you are looking for something original that the whole family can enjoy purgatory is a wonderful choice.

Truly unique and different. I am not a western lover, but found this one a must for my DVD collection.
Love this movie July 25, 2008
I first saw this movie on TBS years ago and i never forgot it. I've always wanted to see it again and hoped that it was on DVD. i was so happy it actually exsited. Amazon had the best price!
purgatory July 18, 2008
good movie with an interesting take on the American western-almost turning the concept of the western on its head. Of course there is the big gunfight at the end
