A very enjoyable film. Had plenty of good action and had some good plot twists and turns. And the theme that no matter how hard Wes McQueen tried to escape his past it caught up with him. The character of Colorado was done extremely well. Well the other characters never change she definitely did change. And it turns out that she was the true friend that Wes McQueen was looking for not Juliana. Juliana and Colorado was a beautiful character contrast. But I feel like this film. Even though it was a quite enjoyable film it still had some things that held it back. It took a while for the film to really get going. Besides Colorado there wasn’t much character development. For example I would have really liked to have seen more of the character of Wes Moore bandit partners. Despite that I still enjoyed this film and would recommend it.

A very entertaining western remake of High Sierra. I loved Virginia Mayo in this.
