Hearing of Shepard, Rex plots to use his status to boost his own infamy and challenges the hero lawman to an old-fashioned duel.

dok's Review of Against The Law:
Richard Grieco as a western gun slinger in the modern U.S. of A. What's not to like!

Watch Against the Law free online. Against the Law is a pretty wicked movie that you and your friends, and your mum, and your mum’s cousin’s pet badger would all enjoy. Against the Law has actors with mad skills, a cracking story and a fab director. In order to make sure you find the film Against the Law amid all the flotsam, jetsam and cute kitten pictures online, this page advertising Against the Law has to be searchable by bots. Yes! We live in the future and your robot slaves will seek out entertainment for you, including the frankly rather ace flick Against the Law. Of course, bots ain’t too smart – they might miss Against the Law, along with other great titles here on IndieMovies – which is why we have to keep shouting it out. Can you hear us bots? We will keep repeating Against the Law, we will crowbar Against the Law into every sentence, even when there is no apparent need for any further utilisation of Against the Law. Because if we were to cut back on uses of Against the Law, if we were to let our Against the Law ratio dip, then the internet will take its ball and go home, and leave us shivering alone in the cold. Which is a pretty draconian penance for the simple want of us yelling Against the Law on a more frequent basis. So please forgive us if we rather overuse Against the Law, if there is glut of Against the Law, there is barely room to move for all the deployments of Against the Law, but we need to keep the Against the Law flowing. Against the Law, Against the Law, Against the Law!
