Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone) and western fans. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Never drags, at 1 hr 3 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Made in 1940: an older pace and style.

In this exciting western, Roaring Dan is the meanest old cuss around. He and his "son" are constantly bickering. But things are not as they seem as the young man is only pretending to be Dan's son so they can find the killers of the young man's real father. Among the guilty are two women.
