The shadows of Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpah loom large over this modest but well-executed Western, which boasts a strong performance from Linda Fiorentino.

Rated: 3/4

Don't even think about expecting anything new or noteworthy out of The Desperate Trail -- but it's still kinda fun in a "this is stupid but I'm enjoying it anyway" way.

Rated: 3/5

A fairly enjoyable, violent western that contains some strong action sequences but is let down with a bit of a b-movie feel, to the proceedings. This movie could have benefited with a higher production value and the musical score is a bit heavy handed to. The cast are good and deserved a little better as Sam Elliott was in the classic western 'Tombstone' and Linda Florentino is cool. Obviously a selling piont but its a typical straight to DVD release.
