    "Broken Trail" is not as well written or compelling as "Lonesome Dove," but Mr. Duvall brings an earthy believability to even the most plodding lines.

    While this "Trail" ain't exactly broken, some judicious editing could have fixed it.

    We've seen all these characters countless times before in movie and TV westerns, but the actors give them distinction here.
