Despite nice filming and decent actors, there are too many inconsistencies.to be a satisfactory movie.
McCarthy wants initially to protect his son but he shelters a fugitive and not even for the money. Why then? A sense of justice? From a former outlaw?
He wants to send his son to fetch the doctor, then decides to go himself and leaves his son alone with what could be an outlaw. Weird.
For someone that fainted and lost a lot of blood, and was operated quite crudely, Curry recovers pretty fast...
McCarthy initially asks Curry to leave his house, before the night skirmish, following day he decides to leave with his son and let Curry defend himself alone in the house. Pretty dumb from both Mc Carthy and Curry.
In front of eight gunmen, Mc Carthy leaves the comparative safety of his house to shoot it out. And he does that initially with his Winchester but without his gun. Rookie mistake for an expert gunman. Then he goes out again (why?).
Guns for hire walk around and turn the house corners like they are suicidal or never were in a gunfight.
Curry walks in front of the window and gets shot in the leg. Never heard of cowering?
Dialogue with the son is also pretty pathetic, son being a caricature of teenager wanting to prove himself.
Only original idea is the resurrection of Billy the Kid, but it is lost in the multiple incoherencies.
