Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of Tom Selleck's best westerns altho it didnt get the accalades it deserved. It is a subtle yet robust and raw as the west was. Typical Amazon high quality product. This was received quickly with free shipping.DVD Review: Great Cast Makes This Worth Watching
Summary: 4 Stars
This re-make of the 1970 version is considered just as good, if not better, by a lot of people who have seen both. I've only seen this one.
I found it much slower than many westerns but still almost as interesting. What was best was the cast. It fascinated me, especially being a regular viewer of the CSI shows. There are two actors whom I've gotten to know well from those shows and they have roles in here: George Eads having a major part while Rex Linn is in a lesser role. Tom Selleck as "Monte Walsh" is a natural for these westerns. He, like Sam Elliott, has that rugged cowboy appearance that make him look genuine. Isabella Rossellini is past her exotic days but she's always interesting as are the following: Keith Carradine, William Devane, James Gammon, Barry Corbin and Wallace Shawn. Yup, this is a very deep and diverse cast.
You also get one of the better directors doing this made-for-cable TV movie in Australian Simon Wincer, who directed "Lonesome Dove." Plus, the film is based on a book from the famous western author Louis L'Amour.
****possible spoiler****The story is not an upbeat one, but not overly depressing despite the fact that few people are left by the end of the film. Despite that sad content there is a lot going for this film, certainly enough for me to recommend.
DVD Review: Monte Walsh- Movie with Tom Selleck
Summary: 4 Stars
Tom Selleck, in a movie we'd never seen before. It was pretty good. Tom Selleck fans will like it!
Description of Monte Walsh
Times change, Monte Walsh doesn't. For him, being a cowboy isn't a job, it's a life. And that's something the fenced-in, corporate-bean-counting ways of the onrushing 20th century must never alter. Tom Selleck plays Monte, struggling to continue the life he knows while seeing the new era nudge the cowboy way toward history's dustbin. Lonesome Dove Emmy winner Simon Wincer directs this Western featuring a superb supporting cast and based on a novel by the author of Shane.Tom Selleck is at his iconic best in this made-for-cable remake of Monte Walsh, a poignant Western about the passing of an American age and the people attached to it. Selleck plays the title character, a career cowboy whose rhythms are aligned with the seasons and the annual herding of cattle from Wyoming to Texas. Faithful to his ways, loyal to his best friend (Keith Carradine), and satisfied with his part-time romance with an ailing, aging saloon girl (Isabella Rosselini), Walsh is happy until his 1890s world rapidly unravels. Eastern corporations are buying up land and shutting down ranches; trains are shuttling livestock faster than an army of cowhands. Walsh can't accommodate the future, and those closest to him are moving on. Director Simon Wincer (Lonesome Dove) masterfully balances the epic and elegaic, Selleck is perfect as a fading footnote to history, and Monte Walsh becomes a universal tale of loss and integrity. --Tom Keogh
