Need More Westerns Like This

I have read multitudes of westerns. I have watched westerns for decades. I like a good cowboy movie with solid characterzation. Crossfire Trail is a movie with humor, drama, and a plain good acting from the entire cast. It is a fine western. Tom Selleck plays a convincing cowboy hero! I would like to see him in more of the same type of films.

A TERRIFIC WESTERN FROM THE WINCER-SELLECK DUO!

Tom Selleck and Simon Wincer, who first teamed up in 1990 for the Australian-set western "Quigley Down Under," team up once again for the made-for-television western "Crossfire Trail," based on a Louis L'Amour novel. In this film, Selleck plays Rafe Covington, a man who promised a dying friend that he'd look after his wife and the family ranch in Wyoming, only to be troubled by the wife's refusal to believe his words, and a man who has an eye on both the woman and the ranch.
The film is a terrific western adventure, with fantastic performances by the likes of Selleck, Virginia Madsen, Wilford Brimley, David O'hara, Brad Johnson and Mark Harmon. Great action set pieces, beautiful scenery and a terrific score by Eric Colvin combine to make a powerhouse western, the likes of which haven't been seen since the western faded into obscurity in the 1970's. Fans of the western will surely enjoy "Crossfire Trail."

Good L'Amour adaptation!

This is one of those westerns where you might have seen the story a dozen times in different westerns. (Man with honorable intentions and man with dishonorable intentions are after the same beautiful woman with valuable land.) One would think that a movie that follows the "standard" formula would be rather boring but, I am happy to say, this is not! The main reason for this is the strong cast of Tom Selleck and Mark Harmon.

Selleck plays a perfect western hero and I have really started to appreciate him in that role. Harmon plays the perfect sleaze ball and carries his weight in the show. Add Virginia Madsen and Wilford Brimley to the mix, and you have a good recipe for success!

Aside from the good acting, though, the sets are colorful and nice, and the story is just fun--like the Louis L'Amour story it was taken from. If you want to divulge yourself in some light "shoot `em up" western entertainment, go no further than Crossfire Trail!

crossfire Trail

I think this is one of Tom Selleck's best movies. I also like "Quigley down Under". Both are good Westerns. Richard October 17, 2008
