Monte Walsh (2003 TV Movie)
9/10
Outstanding historical perspective
21 January 2003
Once again, TNT has outdone themselves with another outstanding original drama. Tom Selleck does an excellent job playing a cowboy in 1892 Wyoming, whose way of life is quickly becoming obsolete in a country rapidly moving towards the automated 20th century. I found myself sympathizing strongly with this group of cowboys who are trying to cope with getting old, being able to sustain themselves and their family, and stubbornly refusing to give up a way of living that they have held onto their entire life. The entire movie is very entertaining, and it has everything: a solid plot, a good bit of humor, and a few cameo appearances that help to put the icing on an already great film. After watching this, I almost wish I was born 125 years ago, as Monte Walsh does a great job portraying the cowboy life in an accurate manner...Two thumbs up!
