Goodnight for Justice: The Measure of a Man

"The difference is justice, you'll know it when you feel it squeezing around your neck." Judge John Goodnight (Perry) rides into a town to dispense his own brand of justice. When the town is attacked Goodnight captures a young bandit who turns out to be the the son of a local woman. When Goodnight uses the boy to find the head of the gang more secrets are revealed. After watching the first movie and actually thinking it wasn't that cheesy I went in expecting the same from this one. I was wrong. I realize that this one was also on the Hallmark Channel and I should have expected it but this was way cheesier then the first movie. The main plot and reveal actually made me hang my head and shake it at the ridiculousness of it. I will say though that when compared to the newer westerns that have come out this is still better then most. Which is kinda sad. Overall, not as good as first one but watchable. I give it a C+.

I watched the 1st Goodnight for Justice and enjoyed Luke Perry's performance as a no nonsense judge in the wild west. I searched out others in the series after Mr Perry's untimely death. He played well opposite the young actor Cameron Bright. I look forward to watching the other Goodnight film and am saddened there will be no more. Luke Perry's looks at home in a cowboy hat and Western gear. He's aged a lot since his 90210 years, but mattiref as an actor. He will be missed.
