A tolerable modern-day western, in which Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson are thrown together in the search for a killer on the loose. Nelson's safecracker is supposed to be a lovable rogue in the mould of Walter Brennan, but he simply hasn't the finesse to carry it off. Kristofferson (who also started out as a singer) is much more at home as the gruff Texas Ranger, and there are capable support performances from Rip Torn and Helen Shaver. Tucked away in a bit part is Lash LaRue, a familiar face to anyone raised on Saturday matinée westerns.
a good start but by by half way the wife had picked up a book and started reading and I was strugling to find the story line and in the end gave up
