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
- Great for fans of a good con and fans of prison dramas. Half the pleasure is trying to spot the trick before the reveal. Same wavelength as Silverado. The walls close in, and so does the tension.
- The mood
- Easygoing.
- The pace
- Well paced, at 1 hr 10 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1936: an older pace and style.
After serving 25 years in prison for robbery, Dean Payton returns to his home town to see his daughter, Sally, who is unaware he is her father. He befriends Cal Yates, the now semi-retired assistant sheriff who originally caught him, and Chuck Wilson, a young rancher who has eyes for Sally. Wanted criminal Al Goss holds up the local bank and makes his getaway, taking Sally hostage. Showing he still has what it takes, Payton, along with Yates and Wilson, take off into the hills on horseback to try to track Goss down. - Written by Doug Sederberg
