Not exactly my type of Western entertainment...
Well, I hadn't heard about this 1954 Western movie prior to having the chance to sit down here late in 2022 and watch it for the first time. So I wasn't harboring any particular expectations to the movie.
Writers George Van Marter, Franklin Coen and Louis L'Amour didn't exactly manage to put together a script that overly fell into my particular taste and preference. Sure, "Four Guns to the Border" was a watchable movie, no doubt about it, but the storyline just didn't really offer much of any thrills or entertainment for me. So it was a somewhat monotonous movie to sit through.
The acting performances in the movie were good, though I can't claim that I was familiar with the cast ensemble here.
There are many other Western movies from around the same time that proved far more entertaining than what director Richard Carlson managed to do with "Four Guns to the Border".
My rating of "Four Guns to the Border" lands on a four out of ten stars, four guns, four stars. Coincidence?
