excellant westerns!

LAST STAND AT SABER RIVER(1997):

Selleck playes an ex-confedate soldier just trying
to return to normal life after the Civil War, but
instead runs into trouble with two union
sympathizers (played by the Carradine brothers)! B

A review from Amazon.com:

Tom Selleck shows a harder side of his persona
as a disillusioned Confederate who returns home
in the waning days of the Civil War in this adaptation
of the Elmore Leonard novel. His wife, Suzy Amis,
isn't ready to forgive him for leaving his family
behind for the "adventure" of war, and his children
hardly remember him. Haunted by his actions in
the war and caught in a power struggle in the
Arizona territory, Selleck's soul-scarred survivor
makes a last stand to protect the only thing left
that matters to him--his homestead and his family.
The film has its share of gunfights, showdowns,
conspiracies, and Civil War rivalries, and even a
runaway stagecoach, but its power lies in the
somber exploration of how misunderstandings and
conflicts tear at a marriage during such a volatile
time, when ideals are set against duty to family.
Director Dick Lowry's lean style makes the most
of the gorgeous landscapes, and he< creates a
strong dramatic tension in the bubbling
undercurrent between Selleck, who leaves
behind< the jovial character of his Louis L'Amour
Westerns for a man hardened and embittered
by war, and Amis, an excellent actress who
brings to life a woman who shoots, speaks her
mind, and harbors resentment just as well as
any brooding male hero. Keith and David
Carradine costar as Union wranglers who hold
a grudge against the Confederate veteran.
One of the most mature TV Westerns ever
made. --Sean Axmaker

A western written by the king of westerns,
Louise L'Amour! Tom plays a man who makes
a promise to a dieing man to watch over his
wife! Tom is perfect in the role, with a decent
cast with him(including the great Wilfred Brimley,
one of my favorite character actors!! This is
the second film pairing these two great actors,
the other being High Road To China, one of my
top movies ever!!)! Well worth a couple of watches! B

A review from Amazon.com:

There are unmistakable pleasures to an old-fashioned
Western, and Crossfire Trail has 'em. Tom Selleck has
a lean, weathered face that sits nicely atop a horse
and beneath a broad-brimmed hat; he plays a canny
cowboy who's come to make good on a promise to a
dying man and ends up caught between a beautiful
woman (Virginia Madsen) and a wicked man in
black--a couple of them, actually. Crossfire Trail
has just about every element you could ask for (a
Sioux war party, a cruel hired gun, a shootout in
the street, even a cattle stampede), but it spins
them out with such clean efficiency that you can't
help but enjoy it. Directed skillfully and with
heart, Crossfire Trail will satisfy any Western fan.
Based on the novel by Louis L'Amour; also featuring
Wilford Brimley and Mark Harmon. --Bret Fetzer

Tom is a cowboy determined to live the life of
a cowboy 'til he dies! This is a great movie with
very little violence(til nearly the end of the movie)!
Beautiful scenery, beautiful score, absolutely great
acting, and an all around great movie! B+

A review from Amazon.com:

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
