I really enjoyed this film. Pleasant is the word I would use to describe it. It has some action, but mainly it's a character study of a cowman who is getting a little old to be called a cowboy. This film is full of a lot of character actors doing a good job of being realistic to the time and place of the story. Even the bad guys just seem like men who aren't necessarily evil, they've just made some wrong choices and are having to see where their trail will lead. I do wish there had been a few more scenes between Conagher and Evie, developing their relationship more a bit. The kids especially impress with their ability to portray grief for their father, in a realistic and believable manner. This story is very like Louis L'Amours' "Hondo", which was a more entertaining film, but not quite as realistic in many ways as this one. So, I was glad to stumble across this, and expect to enjoy watching it every so often, and recommend it to you.
score 7/10
