An epic western

This epic western brings back the harsh reality of life in the 1800's. A really well made and acted movie of the wild west and the men who lived in these times. Be prepared to settle down for some time, as this movie is a little longer than your average. However, while this was a little longer it still ended too quickly.

Johnson County War

Really liked the movie. Beautiful scenery. A sample of life
in years gone by.

Brotherly Love Keeping In The Family During A Range War!!!!

Let me first say that this is one of my favorite westerns. I love it. It is well paced, never slow, and develops in an unpredictable way. Most westerns, I think are far, far to predictable, but not with this particular movie. The ending will not be seen coming so far away that when it does you will just be glad it is done. No, this one will end in a way that will make you mad that there is not more to offer. Along the path to this fantastic ending you will be introduced to many sympathetic characters, including three brothers and the one brother's wife, whose fate you will come to worry about. It is well filmed and does not look like it is not a big budget movie, so you will not be disappointed with this one.

a fizzle

As soon as you see the name Larry McMurty, you know it's going to be a very, very long movie in which very, very little happens. McMurty seems to specialize in taking short stories and padding them into three-volume novels. This movie, of which he only wrote the screenplay, is no exception. The scenery and music keep it from being a total waste and the gritty, dirty sets.

Western fans may be annoyed by a couple of places where credibility is strained in how the character handles a dangerous situation. Also, the big, big buildup to a climactic scene leads to a fizzle ending. The characters are not, in fact, well developed but are stereotypes. The British lord and his man-servant are comic book material, not only stereotypes but highly prejudiced stereotypes.

There are many better movies out there. See this only if you're a fan of one of the players. And by the bye, even though Rachel Ward gets top billing on the cover, she has a very small part and is quickly dead, a pity since she was at least a colorful character.

Not great

This movie leaves me cold. Too Hollywood. Story line is good but the acting is very poor
