Crossfire Trail [DVD]

Movie / Show Details

Amazon.com

There are unmistakable pleasures to an old-fashioned Western, and Crossfire Trail has ’em. Tom Selleck has a lean, weathered face that sits nicely atop a horse and beneath a broad-brimmed hat; he plays a canny cowboy who’s come to make good on a promise to a dying man and ends up caught between a beautiful woman (Virginia Madsen) and a wicked man in black–a couple of them, actually. Crossfire Trail has just about every element you could ask for (a Sioux war party, a cruel hired gun, a shootout in the street, even a cattle stampede), but it spins them out with such clean efficiency that you can’t help but enjoy it. Directed skillfully and with heart, Crossfire Trail will satisfy any Western fan. Based on the novel by Louis L’Amour; also featuring Wilford Brimley and Mark Harmon. –Bret Fetzer
