The Casting for the movie was very good, and the theme, two gunfighters, one a TV actor (but a former roustabout) and the other a famous old west lawman, solve a murder. They had never met, but became very good friends. Mariel Hemmingway also has a big part. I believe that the ratings for this movie vary between city people, who are easily bored, and rural people who want character development and feeling between characters. I believe the vote for the movie would be a "ten" if rural people only voted, and a 5 from city dwellers. This is the type of movie that would bring me to a theatre (where I haven't treaded for over 15 years). Plot good, complex murder, great character development, good action, very satisfying. Garner and Willis both excellent and very likeable and believeable. It is a "ten" in my book.
