To me, this movie is perfection.

Really Surprised!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A cowboy, whose name is unstated, is being hunted by a group of Regulators because he shot the wrong man's son. An early encounter leaves many Regulators dead; this impresses Dooley, a former Confederate sergeant who is looking for a partner. He has a quarter of a map that indicates the location of half a million dollars' worth of Confederate Gold. Each part of the map is on a holster; to find the gold they must get the three other holsters. This won't be easy; the only man knowing the location of one is in a Mexican prison awaiting execution and another is in the possession of the leader of a group of Kansas Red Legs, a militia which fought for the Unionists in the Civil War. Ultimately this will lead The Cowboy, Dooley, Regulators and Red Legs to a Mexican village where the final confrontation is destined to take place; if this weren't enough there are also Mexican troops there!This film is a delightful homage to the classic Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s; the laconic, morally ambiguous hero; numerous antagonists; over the top shoot-outs and a great final confrontation. Emilio Estevez does a fine job as The Cowboy; a character who is unbelievably skilled with his guns and William Forsythe impresses as Dooley. The rest of the cast are solid too; playing things straight even when the action is distinctly over-the-top. The action is impressively choreographed and not at all gory meaning this isn't unsuitable for younger fans of the genre. I didn't realise it was made for TV when I watched it as it has such a cinematic feel. There are some flaws of course; most notably the six-shooters that don't seem to need reloading. Overall though this film is well worth watching if you are a fan of the genre.

As a huge fan of the "Young Guns" movies, I was excited when I saw Emilio Estevez once again don a cowboy hat and pick up his six-shooters. I was somehow hoping for "Young Guns III", but instead got a Looney Toons version of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". Except Looney Toons is more entertaining. And believable.For 94 minutes I watched Emilio flip through the air like an over-caffeinated acrobat, mowing down a slew of bad guys, whether one at a time or 30 on horseback -- single-handedly. There must have been a lot of hidden trampolines on the set.Emilio's over-the-top sharpshooting and semi-witty one-liners wouldn't have been so bad if I felt any sympathy for his character. Or ANY of the characters. Oh well, I still have my "Young Guns" DVDs.

Hi, if you remember the "Spaghetti Westerns" of Sergio Leone you gonna feel the same thing about this movie, a hybrid of A Few Dollars More and Face Off (from John Woo). Slow action, without good characters. Good for a retire men's matinee.

Possibly the worst TV western ever made. The gun fight in the saloon was hilarious. Is this the best Emilio Estevez can get?
