I really enjoyed this film
Dead or Alive, I am a big Western fan..and it seems the older I get, the more I like them..However, I had not watched this film before..and I really liked it a lot..It had all the prerequisites of great Western..Terrific scenery..good musical score..a time tested plot..and very good characters..It reminded me greatly of 1 of my favorite films, The Last Hard Men…where Charlton Heston/James Coburn starred as the retired lawman and escaped convict..Both films shared 1 thing that is hard to find in a western..a general sense of foreboding where at every turn there was danger lurking in every turn.. In this film’s case 2 terrific actors, Kris Kristofferson and Scott Wilson who as leads developed a personal hatred for each other..Both films had young men finding their way in a world they had not experienced in the manner of the lawman, which made the lawman uneasy for relying on him as a back-up..and both films had the beginnings of a love interest that involved a kidnapped hostage and young apprentice..I highly recommend this film, and then decide which 1 you enjoy better..In my case, for different reasons I give it a tie!!!
Solid western
The Tracker is a made for HBO western movie starring Kris Kristopher son.Kistofferson is perfect for this role and in my opinion, very underrated as an actor. He must come out of retirement to track down a vicious gang. Scott Wilson is great also as the leader of the gang as well as a psychotic holy roller. The story moves along at a steady pace looks great as well. The acting and characterization is also pretty solid and has the right amount of action and gun play. Overall, I thought The Tracker was quite good and should please most fans of the genre. It definitely is deserving of more fanfare and was a well made western.
