Critic Reviews

Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
It's not an awful TV flick in any particular way, but there are so many better Westerns you could be watching instead.

I believe this movie was made for TV, as I am sure even in Cowpoke, Nebraska it would be hard to keep a movie audience awake. Not a lot of real action, but enough for TV and popcorn. But you would have to be a western freak to enjoy this one. David and Keith Carradine play good roles,… More
I believe this movie was made for TV, as I am sure even in Cowpoke, Nebraska it would be hard to keep a movie audience awake. Not a lot of real action, but enough for TV and popcorn. But you would have to be a western freak to enjoy this one. David and Keith Carradine play good roles, and Suzy Amis seldom handles a starring role very well and this movie is no exception, don't know what it is, she does well in TV Short roles ie Miami Vice where she started off as a hooker, but as a western wife she lacks conviction. Tom Selleck makes a rather large target in a gun fight along with a large man riding a horse across the open range, dam I'm sore just watching him. And Tracey Needham a beautiful women and if she came knocking on my Cabin Door wanting to spend the night, come on Tom What is wrong with you. Anyway typical western film, I have land, bad guys want, land, over my dead body. Not to bad, but just good enough for 3 stars.
