Member Rating:

Kirk Douglas produced, directed, and starred in this cynical western concerning Howard Nightingale (Kirk Douglas) a United States marshal who uses the pursuit of an outlaw to further his political career. Nightingale organizes a posse to track down Jack Strawhorn (Bruce Dern), a notorious bank robber. But Strawhorn turns the tables on Nightingale, kidnapping him and holding him hostage. He then demands that the posse pay $40,000 for Nightingale's safe return. In order to raise the money to free Nightingale, the posse must become bank robbers themselves. Meanwhile, Nightingale tries to insinuate himself with Strawhorn and cut a deal for his freedom. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

A Western flick with a great, new kind of ending which you the viewer must see for yourself. It's hard to determine throughout the movie who the "bad" guys and "good guys are. In all, I think they all fit the bill for "bad" but only one group wins the day.

Interesting film reexamining the old west. Good performances, especially by Douglas and Dern. Worth watching
