Audience Member This was a good film, with a decent plot and great music. This has got to be one of the better western scores I’ve ever heard. Unfortunately when you buy it on prime, you get a cropped 16:9 version. Not the full CinemaScope experience which is absolute rubbish, and to be completely honest with you, should be illegal. Overall the film alone doesn’t particularly stand out, but it’s a nice watch before bed or just after work. It’s got its tragedy in the tale of Clint, and it’s got shootouts, and fun camerawork. I also like how one of Vance’s former buddies was like a devil on the shoulder, taking the chance to create distrust every chance he gets. That’s a villain right there. 4/5 stars. Good film for your very first Elvis. I’m glad this is the first Elvis film I’ve ever watched. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Red T Here's the thing, your enjoyment is going to depend on one question. Are you wanting to see a Western or Elvis sing? If it's Elvis your better off just watching clips of the 3 songs he sings in this on YouTube. Hes in maybe 40% of the movie as a supporting character and he ends up being a key plot point in the last 20 minutes or so kind of out of nowhere. This ends up working for and against the movie. Elvis is the weakest actor in this and it really isn't that big a deal until the final 20 minutes when he is the main focus in some dramatic scenes and it starts to show how out of place he is and somewhat miscast. It ends up weighing down the climax. His music numbers are good but there is only 3 and they end up feeling out of place in a serious western like this as well and conflict with the tone. The actual main western story is solid except for the pacing which is decent. It feels like things pick up out of nowhere in the last 20-30 minutes and gets really complicated out of nowhere. This feels off compared to the slow and somewhat dry pacing of everything else in this. It feels like more should've been spent working on building up the conflict rather taking 15 minutes of a really short runtime letting Elvis sing. Honestly, if Elvis wasn't in this I would call this a hidden gem of a western. The acting outside of Elvis is solid, the cinematography outside of Elvis is really well done, and the story is good as well. Anyone who is a die hard western fan should check this out. Elvis fans should just watch clips of him sing. This isn't really a Elvis movie. It's a western with Elvis in it and weighed down by him, but still decent enough.
