Film Frenzy

Peck offers his usual conviction to the project, but the supporting cast is an awfully weak one.

Nothing special, but by the time it was over, I enjoyed it and was glad I saw it.

Los Angeles Free Press

It is a contemptuous piece of film making from people who once set standards and now seem to be working off commitments in packages-that would embarrass the most brazen agent.

Peck is adequate in a role that doesn't demand much more than adequacy.

A miscast Gregory Peck is too nice of a guy to be in a revenge western that demands anything but a tender-hearted portrayal.

I loved it. It was funny. There was sarcasm, good shooting scenes, and a bond between an older reformed convict and a little girl. I have no clue why there are substandard reviews.

Made by the people who gave us John Wayne's Rooster Coburn in True Grit, it harbours a few echos with that film, although the girl foisted on Gregory Peck's tough criminal-turned-good-guy is much younger. Dawn Lyn is terrific as the streetwise infant. Robert F. Lyons is equally supeb as the cowardly when cornered bad guy. Predictable towards the end, but highly enjoyable adventure.

I think Shoot Out is the type of Western you'll like even if you're not a fan of Westerns.You got Clay Lomax getting out of prison & looking for revenge on the ex partner who shot him in the back after a robbery but gets a kid dumped on him.He drags her along while being tailed by 3 punks hired by Clay Lomax's ex partner who's now a rich rancher.I won't give anymore away but if you enjoy Westerns as much as I do then it's a movie you'll want to check out
