i do not know why i be take the time to review this waste of time movie . if you stick with it long enough in hope of a satisfying conclusion good and bad and or surprising do not . it finally fizzle out after stiff and formulaic and predictable dialogue and act . indoor scene be so harshly lit you think if the camera be zoom out one millimeter far you would see the klieg light . costume and hair do and and set be starch and press and and immaculate . be we suppose to imagine common people really live like that in early 20th century arizona . other reviews comparison to sam peckinpah be an insult to peckinpah represent at least that director weave his violence into the context of chaos and mayhem . hard men gore be gratuitous explode squib from wooden impersonation of bad guy with manicured fingernail . huh . i can believe heston thought he might have be make something of worth with this film . ( he do get to clutch his gun in his cold finger . ) but coburn . i will never guess why he sign up for this travesty . want to see a movie about the end of the west a we know it and the end of western a we know them . watch the shootist or unforgiven again . the last hard men be a mockery of an obituary to the western .
