Two Hours in the Mohave

karlbeale

Great scenery spoiled by some of the poorest acting and a wholly unimaginative screenplay. Even the action scenes are lousy peaking with the phoniest fight between Gary Cooper and Jack Lord. The favorable reviews raised my expectations.

Cooper can be a bit of a stiff so I wasn't expecting the movie to challenge personal favorites of the oater genre - The Searchers or True Grit - but I wasn't expecting a Western version of the laughable Poseidon Adventure.

I'd rather have spent the time walking around the film locations in the middle of the summer.

score 5/10
