04/27/2023 Kind of funny it started out. I thought it wasn’t gonna like it but the more I got into it the better it got. Yes I recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas April 27, 2023. See more 04/11/2012 another western vehicle for Scott-I'll ride See more 01/26/2011 The plot struck me as convoluted and I am not what it's message about the press exactly is, but this is an enjoyable, good looking western. See more 03/08/2009 Scott's usual role as good man of the west doesn't really stand out as the plot is very ordinary, as is the approach to making this one. See more Read all reviews
