This is a rip-roaring, well-structured, and brilliantly textured portrait of an era long past, with all of the iconic genre staples present and accounted for. The scheming land barons, the penitent gunslingers looking to escape their pasts, the two-timing lawmen - they're all here and presented with charm. But these gunfights are what you came here for. There's at least two or three per act and they're all expertly choreographed. The performances are all well-tailored and aside for a couple of useless characters here and there, the overall product is just the same - solid and entertaining as all get-out.… Expand

The first thing to value and appreciate in a western is that it is made according to the classic formula. The cast does an admirable job and at no time does the plot tend to lose its vigor.

A solid enough film, however it lets itself down by being too light to be taken seriously as a great Western film. The casting of Kevin Klein, Kevin Costner and Danny Glover in particular prevent this from being considered in the sameA solid enough film, however it lets itself down by being too light to be taken seriously as a great Western film.

Classic Old West movie that can give you a taste of the Cowboy lifestyle. A lot of horse-riding, gun-shooting.

This is my favourite Western movie. These actors were amazing and many went on to star in some of my other favourites.

I wasn't especially keen on this film at first, as it seemed quite cliched and basic, although it is perhaps one of a few family friendly Western films but it did seem to get more interesting towards the end. Some of the characters interestedI wasn't especially keen on this film at first, as it seemed quite cliched and basic, although it is perhaps one of a few family friendly Western films but it did seem to get more interesting towards the end. Some of the characters interested me more than others - I liked the short lady that ran the local bar for one.

There's some nice landscape shots and its an easy watch which is a bit entertaining - not, perhaps, as much as I'd like but its an ok watch, so I'd recommend it if your looking for something to watch with pre-teenagers perhaps, if you don't mind a little over acting. Also, it was amusing seeing John Cleese playing a bad guy.… Expand

Scott Glenn is amazing in this movie and of course, so is Kevin Costner. Also, who doesn't love Danny Glover? This movie has tons of action and quips and will scratch that western itch with an 80s filming style. Enjoy!… Expand
