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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

05/31/2020 Sam Elliott was the only good actor in the whole film See more 03/18/2011 Interesting Western movie with Sam Elliott as the mean Marshal after the bad girl. See more 06/15/2009 O.K I am a sucker for Sam, but still a decent story See more 12/10/2008 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. See more 02/24/2008 Reasonably good and interesting plot. See more 10/07/2007 ok western. sam elliot is cool as always. could have been a lot more, but since this as a straight to video release i can`t expect all that much either. but worth seeing, no doubt for a western fan anyways.
