Viewing Notes
Picked up this DVD set of western films from the library b/c it had one film I needed for my Bronson project. When I was researching the other titles I discovered that this was also a Bronson flick. So basically I got a bonus flick for my project!
This is a total no frills western with a straight forward story that leads to conflict and a final showdown. Bronson is typically great as the lead w/child actor Kurt Russell as his sidekick. He encounters a band of outlaws, gets on their bad side then the fighting and shootouts ensue. Not great but very watchable. Would like to see a better presentation of this someday (all the films on this set are PD w/shitty full screen transfers, as is usually the case w/the cheapie sets).
