good old fashioned western action
asinyne23 July 2011
Heck, I'm really not a Walker fan but I enjoyed the hello out of this retro two part episode. Set in the old west, not the present, Norris plays a bounty hunter/Texas ranger who (shades of Shane) tries to protect a family from some super slimy bad guys.

Norris looked a tad silly with a long haired wig on but the production values were really first rate and the bad guys were just downright nasty lots of veteran actors and actresses pitched in to make this fun.

Naturally this is a very violent episode with people getting gunned down or beaten up regularly. The actor playing Kilgore was great. Veterans Robert Fuller, Jamie Rose, and Joseph Bottoms all did nice jobs with their parts. I liked this a lot, plenty of action and a minimum of idiotic computer effects.

The plot is about as simple and traditional as it gets but it keeps working, so don't fix it. Just a lot of good old school western fun to be found here.
