"One more. I’d have to say Red River. Great Western. John Wayne, Monty Clift — Monty Clift couldn’t be more wrong for a Western, and yet it totally works. When they finally have their fist fight at the end, they’ve taken and shot Wayne to even out the fight, because Wayne was about six inches taller than Clift, and 80 pounds heavier, and the fight works fine. The spirit of the cattle drive is extraordinary, the amount of drama that happens; the father and son struggle — in essence the Oedipal struggle, even though he’s not actually his son — between Clift and John Wayne, is magnificent. It’s pure Hawks: Men on the trail doing something dangerous, and doing it well. You can’t ask for a better Western. It talks about the whole opening of Texas, and it talks about the relationship between men. It talks about the dynamics of leadership, talks about betrayal. It’s Shakespearian, really, without any pretention. Pure Hawks."

Fast paced

More cheesey than spaghetti

An ok western with a good cast. The premise isn't the most dramatic and the acting at times is a bit cheesy. Overall one that fans of the genre will enjoy until something better comes along.

One of the best modern westerns

This movie is exceptional in the western genre. I tend to judge most westerns against it if they were made after the 80's. This one sets the bar and it sets it very high.

Not a bad western. Not the greatest but not too bad. Decent acting and filmwork. The story was pretty simple, though a bit predictable. It still played out nicely and entertained. Dog lovers beware but otherwise nothing to extreme for anyone. Worth a watch.

"It’s fashionable to read ‘Naked Lunch,’ proclaim Burroughs as a genius, sometimes dip into ‘Junky,’ and forget the rest. The truth is that Burroughs’ best novels were the ones he wrote in the later years of his life, like ‘The Western Lands,’ and this beautiful work."
