      dave j Thursday, September 18, 2014 (1939) Frontier Horizon WESTERN Starring John Wayne, Ray "Crash" Corrigan, and Raymond Hatton as "The Three Mesquiteers"- the low budget Western equivalent of "The Three Musketeers". And while I was watching this film, I couldn't believe how original and entertaining this film was in comparison to 2007 "3:10 To Yuma" and Coen's version of "True Grit". It takes place right after the Civil War focusing on a small town called "New Hope" which the residents have so much pride on had just learned that a water damn is needed to go through so that bigger towns or cities can have water, and that a cash settlement is going to be offered to them if they move away from their properties. Of course, the residents refuse to leave and are willing to fight for it, until a better proposal, has been offered on the table. viewers are not clear who are the bad guys are until shady deals are proposed. Had the budget been higher, my rating would have been higher as well. 2.5 out of 4 stars Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member good Republic western Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Outstanding movie John Wayne is my family favorite actor Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
