Seldom ever do a review here. Had to cause I've NEVER thought of Bill Pullman as above average actor. This has to be his best as an actor in his career in my opinion! Kudos to Bill!
First off, it was shot on film, and it shows. The color and lighting felt warm and real. Call me old school, but there is something wonderful about a film shot on, well...FILM! I enjoyed the acting. It felt real. The story made sense and believable. Overall I really enjoyed watching it and it was a great surprise to stumble across it on Amazon Prime. Wish I could have seen it on the silver screen. Bravo...
It's a crime that a movie like this grossed under $8k at the box office when tripe passes for blockbusters
Pullman gives an idiosyncratic, detailed performance as Lefty.
Watch Pullman closely for only a minute or two, and then you will not be able to take your eyes away from watching his inspired acting in this wonderfully filmed western.
Needed more development between Lefty and his long-time friend Edward (Fonda) though - so we the audience feel the deep friendship as well.
Pullman as Lefty, in spite of his drawbacks as a simple, but well meaning ranch hand totally convinces us that heart, loyalty, friendship, and honor do indeed matter.
Never ever count out that person to do the right thing all the way to the end.
We would all be lucky to have a caring, determined friend like Lefty. - AVS

Really good Western with a twist..'The hero is the sidekick...don't see that often, if ever. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good flick to watch late night when your tired of all the modern movie genres...
Kick back and enjoy!!
Did you know
- TriviaLewis Pullman who plays Billy Kitchen is Bill Pullman's son in real life.
- GoofsAlthough Lefty does not appear to be left-handed -- he shoots right handed, rides right-handed (holding the reins in his left hand so that his right hand is free), and wears his sidearm on the left side, butt forward, so that he can draw it with his right hand -- he could have gotten the nickname for some other characteristic or habit.
