With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who root for the clever crook and anyone who loves watching the truth get chased down. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. Fans of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs or The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance should feel right at home. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story.
- The mood
- Easygoing.
- The pace
- Well paced, at 56 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1942: an older pace and style.
In Old Wyoming, a gang is plundering stagecoaches of shipped currency and a crusading newspaper editor is trying to get the local marshal replaced, because of his apparent failure to catch the gang, which seems to disappear into thin air after every robbery. The situation escalates when one of the stage drivers is mortally wounded; so the marshal sends for his friends, the Range Busters, to help him catch the criminals. Meanwhile, even the marshal's fiancee, the editor's daughter, turns against him in favor of an aggressive agitator for law and order - who secretly is leading the robber gang.
