Well, that stunk
Was looking forward to a good night in with a western but couldn't even finish it. What a load of crap. The writing was boring, Reed's character was a yawn (and his hat looked stupid.) Candace was a waste, Hackman was cardboard, the plot was predictable and the whole thing moved slower than molasses.
It really does point out how well the Eastwood westerns were done and how it isn't that easy to produce a good movie.
