Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among history and war-film fans and anyone who likes wide open spaces and slow-burning standoffs, this one's for you. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Liked The Big Country or Open Range? This is a good next one. Dust, horses and a showdown waiting to happen.
- The mood
- Easygoing.
- The pace
- Never drags, at 1 hr 11 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1943: an older pace and style.
Roy returns home to fine a range feud between the cattlemen and the sheepmen. When his friend is killed he finds the rifle had a defective pin. He learns the rifle belongs to a ranch hand named Barker and that a third party has caused the feud. When he captures outlaws trying to blow up a dam, he claims Barker was the killer. But Barker has switched rifles and the outlaws now accuse Roy and Roy finds himself in trouble.
