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

3/5
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

May 31, 2020 Sam Elliott was the only good actor in the whole film See more Mar 18, 2011 Interesting Western movie with Sam Elliott as the mean Marshal after the bad girl. See more Jun 15, 2009 O.K I am a sucker for Sam, but still a decent story See more Dec 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 Feb 24, 2008 Reasonably good and interesting plot. See more Oct 7, 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.
