I thought I'd be entertained by an old John Wayne western, and a t first I was, but it got a bit too flawed. The only good thing (besides a young John Wayne) was the corrupt official getting what he deserved.
The fight and chase scenes were good, as was the story of the family struggling to survive any way they can (the girl JW fancies steals money from his wallet, while her brother goes renegade), but the guy making a martyr of himself was a bit much, and when the boy bartender shoots him with no problem, then says "Gosh" like a kid, it just got silly.
Even worse, was the girl waving happily as JW and team leave, when they just buried her brother; apparently, she got over his death without much trouble.
Too flawed to be really good.
