Rogers is a pleasant lead but he's arguably a better singer than actor, and his low-energy, laid-back presence can't quite elevate this to cheesy classic status. Go to Full Review

CodyZamboni Z Jan 5 Entertaining Western TV movie, As Kenny and young sidekick use their gun skills, fighting skills, and poker skills to win a woman from clutches of rotten train owner, And battle an old enemy for Kenny's son's freedom, Nicely staged poker scenes, and surprising bluffs done during poker and gunfights, Kenny has an easy going charm, Whole movie shot in old West style sepia tones. Based on Kenny's signature song. See more Alan g 08/23/2024 When is hollywood going to realize singers are not actors. A boring one trick pony. See more Chris M 10/13/2022 The biggest problem is that 95% of this movie is in one train car. It really hurts the pacing. But doesn't destroy the movie. The characters, the cast and the story makes up for the pacing enough to keep your interest. I think you should ante up for this TV classic. See more 01/31/2019 Nice entertaining western. The good guys you can root for and care about. Has a good moral sense to it and is just entertaining. Not a bad little movie. See more Read all reviews
