Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
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
- Great for anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and anyone who likes wide open spaces and slow-burning standoffs. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Shelve it next to The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance or Hell or High Water. Dust, horses and a showdown waiting to happen.
- The mood
- Easygoing.
- The pace
- Never drags, at 1 hr 12 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1959: an older pace and style.
In this exciting western, cowpoke Texas John Slaughter rides out for revenge against the man who killed his friend. He heads for Sandoval, a notorious outlaw lair. Horses gallop, guns blaze, and mayhem ensues.
