      Audience Member Really good one right here. I know you like it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, May 3, 2023. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Not memorable, but I've seen worse. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A below average Western. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member So-so western about Joel McCrea as Bat Masterson, bringing justice to the titular city. It's all pretty routine, but it's reasonably entertaining and McCrea delivers one of his solid performances. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's quite good at times, but really starts to run out of ideas by the third act which is a problem considering the film is only 80mins. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Joel McCrea was alway pretty good in his western leads, and this one is no excepton. Sadly, like here, the lower budget movies he often appeared in lacked the punchy script or story to compliment him. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
