***SPOILERS*** I've always liked James Best. He plays any role with professional ability, and in this one he's great. Hated his character's gut until the end, but his acting was top notch. Miriam Colon has a role that lets her play a dignified role that is courageous and sweet. She's beautiful, also. Ron Howard? Yeah, he's okay, I guess. I mean doesn't he get enough praise, already?
As usual, I've just got a couple of points to consider. First, what were they feeding their horses? Sagebrush? Didn't they need water, too? What happened to Noon's horse after the banzai charge? "The woman" sure could've used that ride. They didn't HAVE to go to the desert to find Comanches, by the way. Kansas was a normal part of their range. They looked cool. As a matter of fact, they were some of the coolest Native avengers, I've seen on television. They had good roles, and played them well. Lone Wolf's line "Your man died bravely" was a great one.
The music was good, but, in my opinion, too loud. I believe that music is best used for a subtle, foundational counterpoint, and should be kept at a soft level. When characters are speaking, it should be dropped to a lower, bass heavy background. The scenery was iconic, it all fit very well; I'll give it a 10.
