With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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
- Tailor-made for anyone in the mood for a love story and action fans. Popcorn viewing in the best sense. Same wavelength as The Big Country.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 23 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
- Made in 1955: an older pace and style.
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
Jim "Tex" Wall, searching for the last of the three men who raped and killed his wife, joins a gang of cattle rustlers led by Hank Hays. Both Hays' outlaws and a rival gang headed by Heesman, have been hired as ranch hands by "Bull" Herrick, a cripple who owns a large cattle ranch and wants to get his large herd to market. He theorizes that the two gangs will be kept busy watching each other and neither will rustle his cattle. Helen has little faith in her brother's contrived plan, and hates and distrusts both groups. She begins to soften toward Jim, but abruptly changes when she sees a reward poster which says he has killed two men.
