Trace Adkins embodies the Western archetype convincingly, though this inexpensive Western falls short of expectations. Released in 2016 under Terry Miles’ direction, “Stagecoach: The Texas Jack Story” features Trace Adkins portraying a reformed stagecoach robber who finds married life, only to be pulled back into a criminal existence when confronted by a one-eyed marshal (Judd Nelson). Kim Coates and Claude Duhamel appear as members of his outlaw crew. Adkins’ presence lends an iconic feel, similar to what he brought to “Traded” (2016) and “Hickok” (2017). What sets this film apart from those is that Adkins takes the lead role, and it's clearly a less polished production, despite having a comparable budget. While "Traded" and "Hickok" were low-budget, they functioned well as made-for-TV or direct-to-video Westerns; “Stagecoach: The Texas Jack Story” feels almost amateurish in comparison. Despite its shortcomings, there are some elements that might appeal to viewers who don't mind rough edges: Adkins is easy to root for; the marshal has a familiar face from "The Breakfast Club" (1985); Michelle Harrison is beautiful as the protagonist’s redheaded wife, Laura Lee; Helena Marie stands out as Bonnie, an unusually tall blonde deputy with a talent for violence; the landscapes of British Columbia are well-used; and there's a decent lesson about being wary of those who seem untrustworthy, especially people prone to deception. The film has a running time of 1 hour, 30 minutes and was filmed in British Columbia (specifically Mission and Maple Ridge). Dan Benamor and Matt Williams wrote the screenplay. Grade: C/C-
