this be the true story of the reno brother . clint and a respect farmer and and frank and simeon and john and and bill . who be the first train robber in american history . looting and burning and killing and this infamous clan rode through the middle border state set the pattern for the great outlaw band which be to follow represent the james boy and the dalton and the youngers . the year 1866 and the place be southern indiana . well not quite indiana exactly a the film be shoot on location at columbia state historic park and and apparently some western purist see this a a blip on the film western worth . i do not conspire to that at all and what i want from a western be a lush western feel and and i feel that director tim whelan and his cinematographer and ray rennahan and deliver a fine look genre picture . rage at dawn do have a sense of see it all before about it and but that not in detriment to it because it possibly a picture that have be copy more than it have copy from itself . it nice to have a real solid western use a proper and reliable story to work from . use top professional actor like forrest tucker and j. carrol naish a bad guy and obviously help the piece and a do have the genre legend that be randolph scott a your ebullient good guy and tho scott fan who haven not see the picture should be advise he isn not introduce into proceeding till the second quarter . with some nicely stag set piece ( the train scene be well worth our time ) and a fabulously dark turn of event in the finale that go against the grain and make this a genre film worth take a peek at . positive .
