DVD Reviews of The Desperate Trail
DVD Review: Another good Sam Elliot western
Summary: 3 Stars
Even in modern times the battered wife has had trouble.
Here Linda Fiorentino plays the battered wife of a Marshal's son,
who finally defends herself with deadly force.
We find them on a stage going back to where she will be hanged.
Love is sometimes found in unexpected places.
It seems strange to have the usual hero as the villain and also
a law man?
I really didn't believe the story line
as the love seems a little sudden to be that strong?
This movie doesn't end well for anybody.
DVD Review: The Desperate Trail
Summary: 5 Stars
The saler did a good job in giving information about the movie and also anything else concerning us purchasing they product. In a score from 1 to 10, I would have to give them a 9.5 or a A++++++++. I would buy from them again gladly. They were very prompt in delivery of the products. They are excellent salers.DVD Review: A Western 'Noir' That's A Bit Different
Summary: 3 Stars
This western starts out very well, then gets too Rambo-ish, meaning the bad guys can't hit the side of a barn with their shots. Despite that credibility problem, it's a pretty good film with excellent sound, nice cinematography and some interesting special-effects. The soundtrack also is different. Speaking of sound, I was disappointed to hear an excessive amount of Lord's name in vain in here.
Actually, this is a modern-day film noir put in a western setting.
Edgy characters played by Sam Elliott (the ultimate cowboy face), Craig Sheffer, Linda Fiorentino (hard-nosed, as always), Bradford Whitford and Frank Whalley dominate the film. This is not a movie with a lot of good guys. It may be too edgy for many, especially those (and I'm one) who prefer Elliott to play nicer characters.
DVD Review: Service was great
Summary: 3 Stars
Delivery and quality was great. Movie was alright. Not a great movie but just an alright one.DVD Review: A Good Western With A Twist
Summary: 4 Stars
A woman is on the run from her father in law who blames her for killing his son, refusing to believe her tale that his son was physically abusive and she killed him in self defense. There are moments where the movie drags, but it redeems itself. I like the fact that the woman is good with a gun and knows how to take care of herself. It's not typical Sam Elliot because he plays against his usual type, but it's still a good movie with lots of good action!
Description of The Desperate Trail
Amiable con man Jack Cooper is on a westbound stagecoach, headed for the next batch of suckers who will mistake him for an easy mark. Fiery Sarah O'Rourke rides the same coach, handcuffed to lawman Bill Speakes and headed for the hangman. In a few hours, all should reach their destinations. But the trail they travel takes an unexpected turn: Cooper and O'Rourke are soon off the stage and running for their lives. The law ends and the chase begins in a very alive tale of wanted-dead-or-alive fugitives (Linda Fiorentino and Craig Sheffer) pursued by a marshal (Sam Elliott) who's a law unto himself.Though The Desperate Trail is hardly a modern Western, this mixture of frontier adventure and con-man conniving is inflected by the plot twists that have driven the post-Tarantino era of low-budget crime thrillers, at least through the first half of the film. It opens with a stagecoach ride that becomes a thrilling runaway escape from bandits, but the passengers are not what they seem and the films spins into a game of one-upmanship between a pair of slick outlaws thrown together by fate. Craig Sheffer, a con man duded up like an Eastern hick and smiling like a chump, spars with lady outlaw Linda Fiorentino, a tough gunslinger with a gift for bluff, while she eludes driven lawman Sam Elliot, whose passion for justice is personally motivated. Through a series of schemes and ambushes (including a Wild Bunch-inspired free-for-all where the posse hits more civilians than criminals), the bickering duo slowly reveal their secrets as the posse closes in. Elliot is perfectly cast as the hate-filled marshal, whose burning dark eyes and simmering persona are unleashed in his ruthless villain with a personable drawling manner, and director P.J. Pesce stages fine action scenes. If there are no surprises in The Desperate Trail, neither are there any lulls--it's a fun ride right to the satisfying if predictable conclusion. --Sean Axmaker
