Well, it was good till the end and then it kind of sucked.  Very implausible ending but I'll be interested to hear what y'all  have to say when you see it.

[redcap]

Don;t tell me it was late?  Damn trains!  Redcap.

[Hock]

Lots of people complained about the ending of the first one, too....
I can't remember how it ended!

GREAT SHOW!


solid A.


Don't listen to Uncle (notacowboy) Nicky.   

[Nick Hughes]

C'mon...you can't have liked the ending...

Yes yes, I, the cold hearted brutal killer will help the rancher gain face in the eyes of his son (fair enough) but now will shoot all my gang dead, who've been fiercly loyal, and doing their damndest to rescue me for 3/4 of the movie.

And I, the rancher, will stand at the train door, with my back exposed to the gang who've been trying to shoot us for the last ten minutes, while you let yourself into the cage...because, they're going to stop now right?

Ppppphhhhhhttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

Yer Uncle Nicky (who never professed to being a cowboy, wanting to be a cowboy or knowing anything about cowboys but does know when a movie has a silly ending)

[redcap]

Nick, I think you still have this feeling all cowboys are like the Breakback Mountain types.  They were actually Canadian Guest Worker cowboys.

If you wish to see implausible, try  the machine gun uphill charge in "Saving Private Ryan".  Why?  Why did they do that?  Also the scene where the Ranger is "dancing" around with the french kid while under fire...again I miss the point.  Surely you would leave the civilians there, kill the sniper then worry about them?  It might be Hollyweird but I can;t see combat experienced Rangers (as these were) pissing about like that.

I know they were making various points, like everyone feeling sorry for the German captured at the MG charge who was let go only to return and kill the Jewish soldier with the bayonet and the gutless interpreter corporal suddenly getting brave and so on.  But I digress.

I wonder if there have been any movies made where people do what real people do and even though it doesn;t look great on camera it is realistic and plausible?  Or are there more idiots out there than I realise? Perhaps Arnold could answer that?  Redcap.

[Professor]

Nicky, it's a good COWBOY flick.


Good logic, well . . .  not to city slickers.  But a good re-telling of a good 'ol western.



Just a movie of cowboy honor.
