Gun Fury (1953)
8/10
Average story, gorgeous landscapes
28 February 2015
Warning: Spoilers
A solid western with your usual bad guy vs. good guy storyline that is only lifted above the average bar by the great performances and Walsh's steady "The West at its best" direction. The gorgeous landscapes shots must be one of the best colour western shots I had the pleasure to behold as of yet. Incredible. Rock Hudson underplays his role, as he usually does, which makes his character the more menacing but a tad less interesting. The antagonist however is as sleazy and villainous as they come and really found myself hissing and cursing him, especially due to the fact that he was not after money but another man's gal. The supporting cast does a good job, from the bad guy's goons to the wronged former gang member, it is all in place. The pacing is great too. A very underrated western.
