Thanks for the memories!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I clicked the "SPOILER" but trust me, this thing stunk so bad, it's already spoiled. But if you happen to be a masochist and want to punish yourself with a really bad movie, have at it, AND DON'T READ ANY FARTHER!!!!I watched this on TV and was wishing I would have rented it so I could FWD through the slow parts, which was the entire movie. So much disconnected, drawn out junk, I thought I was watching a mystery. The flashback shooting in the beginning had no meaning, until the movie was almost over. I still don't know what the guy on the hill taking a pot shot at Randy was about. Garry Marshall and the store bit was in there for what?? I got the plot, I just couldn't understand why it took so long to get there.I guess if you're standing in front of a camera and speaking lines from a script, technically, it is acting but it doesn't make you an actor. I'm sure everyone will recognize the 3 bona-fide actors, and then there is,, everyone else. I didn't think anything could be worse than Randy Travis singing,, I was wrong. And with a head twice the size of a normal human, it makes his "acting" appear twice as bad. The little kid and Ernie Borgnine's two sons were so bad, they must be related to Randy. In fact, I think the entire cast and crew were related.Randy falls from his horse and 3 seconds later the kid looks at his holster and knows it's Jack Cole?? He's spent 8 years not wanting to be Jack Cole and what,, he got Jack Cole engraved on his holster?? Oh,,, and a holster that looks like it just came out of the showroom window?? He almost bleeds to death from a scratch on his deltoid?? Randy, the wife and kid are in the garden, Randy and the wife go to the barn,, and somehow the kid beats them to the hay loft; how does that happen?? The baddest man in the world,, killed countless innocents and a 12 year old boy but lets the hostage wife ride off on his horse?? She rides off, finds Randy, but rather then continue to look for the boy or ride back to the house, they camp out in the woods?? Ernie and the 2 sons rescue the boy, and he gets back home how?? If Ernie took him home, he never thought to look in the house, to see if the owner of the 2 foot lock of hair was OK?? And for the first time in movie history, Eric, a cowboy sheriff, is riding a white Arabian,, with a bareback saddle?? One of Ernie's sons is riding a white horse with a bareback saddle,, possibly the same Arabian?? Randy gives the rifle to the wife and enters,, unarmed, a house where the baddest man alive is?? The last straw was, Ernie's two boys, who couldn't hit a bull in the ass with a handful of rice, put 4 into the chest of the bad guy, nice as you please, only after Ernie takes one in the pumper?? Maybe the first 8 or 10 were sight adjusters?? Too bad for Ernie.It says the budget was $3.5 million. A good cowboy movie must cost billions...

If you need cars flying through the air and lots of explosions, this movie is not for you.If you need lots of cowboys shooting up the scenery with bodies all over the set, then this will not entertain you.This moves a bit slow in parts so you really need to be the type of person who doesn't mind if a movie takes a little time to build up a plot with some danger or excitement.It is about humans getting in situations where they sometimes have to do things they would not normally do. It's about making mistakes and having to face the wreckage left behind. It's about being obsessed with something to the point it ruins your life or the lives of people around you.It is a decent movie about humans and the things they do. It will not garner any shiny awards, but it is a decent movie that did not offend me once.

Jack Fowler (Randy Travis) is a common farmer who abandoned his family to protect and carries eight (8) years fleeing because they had to kill someone (drunk Lenny) that it confused with the ruthless, bloodthirsty and famous gunman Jack Cole.Lucas Moat (Ernest Borgnine) takes more than a month, along with his two sons, following the trail of the real Jack Cole to avenge the assassination of his brother, as well as other crimes including a child.Abel Hart (Paul Tinder) is a fugitive, mental unwaged, which have an obsession with wanting to be the real Jack Cole. This also confuses Jack Fowler with Jack Cole and takes advantage of his wife (Mrs. Vaughn Taylor) and son (Alec Medlock) to try to kill him.The character Eric Roberts (sheriff Hank Bowman) is so insignificant and outside sense that coupled with its dismal performance is the only thing that is bad movie.

It's great to see a Western that's not the typical shoot 'em up and not the usual trash in the saloon. It's nice to have high morals for a change and show the other side of Western life. Why does everyone think that the West was only a bunch of violent gold seekers and train robbers and drop dead gorgeous women? It's nice to see a change of pace in a Western that looks more at character issues and drama verses more and more useless killing. I thought the cast, the cinematography, and the music was great! It sounded like a rich orchestral score...like worth buying the soundtrack for. There's a bit of everything: Romance, drama, adventure, mystery, suspense. I thought it was a great combo. Enjoy an evening without the typical Hollywood trash. Enjoy seeing Randy Travis, Eric Roberts, Stella Stevens, Ernest Borgnine,Rance Howard (Ron's Dad), Jerry Doyle, Garry Marshall (great to see him acting!), Paul Tinder, and Vaughn Taylor. I'll definitely buy it and watch it again!
