| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxRichard Farnsworth's career finds elegant summation in this breezy laid-back Western. |
| Film ThreatPhil HallOne of the best films of the 1980s and one of the greatest films to come out of Canada. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatRichard Farnsworth emanates roguish strength and independence as a legendary train robber. |
| User ReviewOpus PSaw this movie twice in the theater in 1982 and at least twice more on VHS. Farnsworth's best performance. Gorgeously photographed and with a wonderful soundtrack (which I own on cassette). Why no DVD? Why no CD for the soundtrack? |
| User ReviewNaoya KThis isn't available yet on DVD, but it is one of my favorite films ever made. Perfection. |
| User ReviewCarol CI have always loved this film from the first moment I saw it. |
| User ReviewMixi MA marvelous and elegiac modern western, featuring a stellar performance from the Canadian stuntman-turned-actor, Richard Farnsworth. |
| User ReviewJane PFilmed in Fort Steele, BC, this is the true story of Bill Minor who served 18 years in prison for robbing stagecoaches. He was released in 1901, into a world that had changed and this film follows his life as he makes his way to Kamloops, BC. An interesting portrayal of a slice of someone's life and a glimpse into the past. |
| User ReviewJim GA lovely Western about a professional stagecoach robber known as "The Gentleman Bandit" who emerges into the 20th Century (barely - it's 1901) after 33 years in prison and has to figure out what to do with himself. He's lost and adrift unable to fit in living with his sister and unable to settle into an ordinary job (though his eyes reveal twinkling delight as he observes the new world). Then he sees a movie by Edwin S. Porter: "The Great Train Robbery". He's found his new calling. Adventure, misadventure, romance, and much beautiful scenery follow, though all of it is played in a low-key casual manner. The romance is especially endearing as an obvious meeting of equals and the romance quietly drives the rest of the film to its amusing and perfect conclusion. |
| User ReviewJohn BSubtle and slow paced, but worked its magic on me. |
