I saw "Livin' by the Gun" last week and again on Sunday. I enjoyed it both times. A fellow sitting in front of us called it a modern Greek tragedy. I agree.It is a Greek tragedy set in the 1880s. This is a western that doesn't rely on endless galloping horses across open plains. It is a tight drama that depends of dialog not scenery. Still, the scenery and the locations are authentic and beautiful. Also, the tone, color and music remind me of Kevin Costner's "Hatfields and McCoys." My friend even said the "Hatfields and McCoys" and "Livin' by the Gun" came from the "same litter" The main character reminds me of Costner, Sam Elliot, and Tom Selleck, combined. His mustache my be better.
