That was really good. The plot was tight and controlled, the characterization was awesome (seriously, each character had such a distinct personality and was played really well by their respective actors), and some of the stunt work is impressive even today. There's one scene near the climax where a guy is between two horses bridled to a wagon, and he falls down between the horses, going between three other pairs of horses as well as wheels of the wagon. And all that was done without the possibility of CGI trickery. You had to put some real work and risk into making an exciting action scene back then, and they did it. I was very impressed throughout with the skill of everyone involved. I think this might be my favorite western. 6 years 5 months ago
