Selleck has never been better.

A line heard a few times in this excellent film is "Aint nobody sits on a horse like Monte Walsh." I'll amend that by saying aint nobody looks so at home in a western as Tom Selleck. Selleck has never been better and plays the role to shear perfection. A great team of character actors and the fantastic photography really helped put this one over the top.


The time is the late 1800's and the cowboy way of life is coming to a close. Monte has a rough time accepting this. Along the way there are some funny moments but many more sad ones. 4 1/2 of 5 stars.

score 9/10
