Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This takes as its subject the Western itself; but what could have been a bankrupt exercise is saved by exuberance, goodwill, and sheer excitement. Here is every Western scene you ever loved: from the cattle stampede, the shoot-outs, the fist fights, the laconic one-liners, to the saloon bar queen, the slick gambler, the attractive villain, and a Magnificent Four who ride together in search of their destiny at the fateful Silverado. New elements include a black cowboy and a very English sheriff (Cleese), both of which are at the least historically accurate. If you never bother with Westerns, pilgrim, this here Peacemaker has six good reasons why you should. CPea.Author: CPea
