DVD Reviews of Crossfire TrailDVD Review: A TERRIFIC WESTERN FROM THE WINCER-SELLECK DUO! Summary: 5 StarsTom Selleck and Simon Wincer, who first teamed up in 1990 for the Australian-set western "Quigley Down Under," team up once again for the made-for-television western "Crossfire Trail," based on a Louis L'Amour novel. In this film, Selleck plays Rafe Covington, a man who promised a dying friend that he'd look after his wife and the family ranch in Wyoming, only to be troubled by the wife's refusal to believe his words, and a man who has an eye on both the woman and the ranch.
The film is a terrific western adventure, with fantastic performances by the likes of Selleck, Virginia Madsen, Wilford Brimley, David O'hara, Brad Johnson and Mark Harmon. Great action set pieces, beautiful scenery and a terrific score by Eric Colvin combine to make a powerhouse western, the likes of which haven't been seen since the western faded into obscurity in the 1970's. Fans of the western will surely enjoy "Crossfire Trail."
Movie/DVD Grade: A
DVD Review: Good L'Amour adaptation! Summary: 4 StarsThis is one of those westerns where you might have seen the story a dozen times in different westerns. (Man with honorable intentions and man with dishonorable intentions are after the same beautiful woman with valuable land.) One would think that a movie that follows the "standard" formula would be rather boring but, I am happy to say, this is not! The main reason for this is the strong cast of Tom Selleck and Mark Harmon.
Selleck plays a perfect western hero and I have really started to appreciate him in that role. Harmon plays the perfect sleaze ball and carries his weight in the show. Add Virginia Madsen and Wilford Brimley to the mix, and you have a good recipe for success!
Aside from the good acting, though, the sets are colorful and nice, and the story is just fun--like the Louis L'Amour story it was taken from. If you want to divulge yourself in some light "shoot `em up" western entertainment, go no further than Crossfire Trail!
DVD Review: crossfire Trail Summary: 5 StarsI think this is one of Tom Selleck's best movies. I also like "Quigley down Under". Both are good Westerns. Richard
DVD Review: JUST PLAIN FUN Summary: 5 StarsI was raised on westerns and this one doesn't disappoint! Buy it, pop some popcorn and enjoy!
DVD Review: great Crossfire Trail Summary: 5 StarsOne of the best westerns I've seen in a long time.
I almost thought I was back in the 1950's, as a young
kid going to the movies to see Gene and Roy. Very well
done. To bad they don't make them like this anymore. I
highly recommend this movie, Tom Selleck at his best.
Description of Crossfire TrailTom selleck returns in another outstanding adaptation of a classic tale from western specialist louis lamour playing a drifter who risks all to protect a dead friends widow from the schemes of an unscrupulous land grabber and his gun-toting henchmen. Studio: Turner Hm Entertainm Release Date: 03/29/2005 Starring: Tom Selleck Virginia Madsen Run time: 95 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Simon Wincer 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
