SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
gkhege I'm 69 years old and when I was a young boy, we walked three miles to town, just to watch all day westerns. The cost, three Pepsi bottle caps. That's right, three bottle caps, got you all day at the " Picture Show." My point, " I was watching westerns before mokst of you were born. This is one of the worst attempts at making a western I have ever seen. I only gave it a two because I'm old and senile.
jkm0119 The movie begins with something like there maybe some action. If you are looking for action in a western you will be disappointed. i could not decide if this was supposed to be a romance or an action or a moral story. It failed everyone of them. No action, romance was idiotic and the moral was stupid. I suggest this to people who have no understanding of anything and wish to think that leaving your wife and child is a good thing. Bad morals in this movie. The best part of the movie was the Eagles singing Desperado.
aimless-46 I'll be brief: There's nothing good about this movie-if you can actually classify it as a movie; it's like a montage of poor reenactments of scenes from other Westerns. It looks like the producer saw the armored wagon from John Waynes's "The War Wagen" sitting around gathering dust in a studio garage and decided to film a bunch of extra's watching it blow up. Note I said "watching" because it blows up when a small log full of powder swings down on a rope and hits it. Add in the rainstorm in the canyon, (the one where the DP failed to notice a patch of sunlight showing on the edge of the frame), shake out the cheapest looking avalanche sequence since "Sky King", mix in a lot of atrocious acting and matching dialogue that can only aspire to comic book quality, and edit into oblivion.Nothing exciting, nothing remotely interesting (except Richard Farmsworth's embarrassed presence-hopefully he was well paid). Blech.
kellaway84 Basic story of your anti-hero who discovers he has a son and wants to turn good, though is on the run from bounty hunters. The local marshal offers him the chance for a pardon if he takes out a local outlaw who killed the marshals wife.The acting is solid and the plot follows common formulae but still an enjoyable film.I saw aspects of the dollars trilogy especially 'a few dolalrs more'...main character infiltrates gang to take out etc, and also elements seen in unforgiven (although this predates it) of the old hand turning good and going out one last time.
