Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

jadflack-22130 Oh so familiar western plot in this made for TV western but it's competently done most of the way.Starts off well, but then gets bogged down in standard procedures.Builds up to a shoot out finale, that suddenly becomes muddled when bad land grabber C Thomas Howell suddenly has a conscience attack.Luke Perry has done quite a few westerns and a few good films, this isn't one of them, it's too uneven but it's not too bad.

Alex Heaton (azanti0029) I picked this up on DVD and it felt like a TV movie, and hey ho, it was, no surprise there. But I brought it on the strenght of the lead actors, Luke Perry and Thomas C Howell both of whom are very under rated (Perry especially) It's a familiar yarn really. Sheriff (Perry) is in pursuit of the man who killed his family (Kim Coates almost sleep walking through the role) and Howell is the greedy land baron who wants it all. It feels a bit like an episode of the A-Team, but in the Wild West except that people do get shot.The film has some strenghts, the acting all round is decent enough, and the photography and sets all blend well, but the dialogue is just so ordinary and the score swamps the film, with music almost all the way through and rather than uplifting the scenes makes them all the more banal. Shame really.

Wizard-8 This movie was made by RHI Entertainment, a company best known for making cheap and boring movies. Like their other movies, "A Gunfighter's Pledge" was made for commercial television, so you won't get any nudity, sex, foul language, or serious violence. Despite these limitations, I will admit that this is the best effort to date I've seen from RHI. The cinematography is pretty good, and while it may be low budget, it never looks really cheap - there are plenty of props and extras in the background.But despite all that, and my love for westerns, I didn't find this movie to be especially exceptional. It's mainly because of the script - I don't think there's any scene in this movie that you haven't seen in another western before. There is no effort by the screenwriter to put in a few twists, and it's not directed in a way to pump in some juice. Heck, even some of the locations will be very familiar to those who have watched a lot of TV and movies! So we end up with a tired and familiar movie that will make you think you've seen this movie before.

FightingWesterner When his family is killed by escaped convict Kim Coates, ex-lawman Luke Perry tracks him to a lawless town where he mortally wounds a Spanish landowner who was attempting to enlist the help of the outlaw to prevent land baron C. Thomas Howell from taking his ranch. He promises the dying man that he'll protect his family. Meanwhile, Howell taps Coates to go up against Perry.Luke Perry is quite watchable as a western hero and C. Thomas Howell a lot of fun as the sophisticated, refined villain. He looks like a cross between Lee Van Cleef and Blazing Saddles' Hedley Lamar. Coates is an excellent character actor and is always entertaining, especially when he's playing nasty low-lives. Here, he doesn't have as much to do as I'd have liked.This looks as if it were filmed at one of those western themed tourist traps. However, a good script makes up for lack of detail and the costumed look of the wardrobe.The climax is good but Howell's abrupt change in attitude is quite baffling.
