    ★★★

    Gene Hackman is a ruthless rancher who treats his wife as a piece of property. After she is kidnapped, he rounds up a posse who use newly developed long range rifles to track the gang of outlaws who have taken her. A violent and nihilistic Western thriller whose themes somewhat echo The Wild Bunch in regards to end of the "Old West". It was good, but I would like to have seen Hackman get a bit more screen time as his character was the one I found most compelling although Candice Bergen and a clearly pickled Oliver Reed turn in solid performances as well.

    This is one of those VHS covers I passed by a thousand times back in the day. Never got around to seeing it before now and really had no idea what it was about. Turns out it’s a decent little satanic slasher with some giallo inspiration mixed in for good measure. Nothing mind-blowing but it was alright. Alway a pleasure when Bill Paxton shows up…

    ★★★★

    Warren Oates absolutely kills it as legendary bank robber John Dillinger whose exploits propel him to rock star status and whose charm and charisma give him an almost Svengali-like sway over his gang and most everyone else who crosses his path. Tons of great action, humor and who’s who cast of great 70’s character actors.
