My Review: A Clint Eastwood western in the tradition of the Sergio Leone. While this western wasn't directed by Sergio Leonne (directed by Ted Post (The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, Colombo), it certainly seemed like it was written for him. Apparently, he was busy working on 'Once upon a time in the west'. The lead character is the classic western loner. Trying to survive on his wits and his guns. This man is a law abidding citizen, he's laid down his guns and taken to the saddle to raise cattle. On one unlucky day, he runs into a lynch mob who thinks he's a cattle rustler and a murderer - A fatally tragic case of mistaken identities. This time around, I watched my DVD copy. Last time I watched, I saw the 'made for TV' version, and several scenes were missing from that version. My DVD copy runs 114 minutes. Obviously, the TV edit had to be shortened to accommodate commercials. The missing footage moves the story forward too quickly and we lose some essential character development when those extra scenes are dumped on the cutting room floor. Back to the story. In this tale of western justice, the judge is a hanging judge, and the protagonist (played in the style of 'the Man with no name' by Clint Eastwood) uses the law to exact vengeance on those who wronged him. The west was a harsh place. Nowhere near as clean and clear cut as the Lone Ranger would have you believe. The directing was pretty good, and the soundtrack was well done. I really liked the signature staccato sound effects that punctuated the movie (the direction and music were both crafted to emulate the pairing of Leone and Morricone).
