Dark character play. Not your typical B-Western!, 4 April 2000
Author: BigVic-4 from Kansas City

This movie makes my top-ten list of greatest westerns. Great acting from the usually laughable Wild Bill Elliot, great direction and awesome character development along with a good mystery. The subtle dialog from Elliot brings a new light to his acting ability.
