Review of Red Headed Stranger (1986) by Jeff Z — 27 May 2012
Took me a week to get through this snoozefest. Willie is a great singer-songwriter but as an actor, he's no Johnny Cash. Or even Faron Young. Or Sheb Wooley. R.G. Armstrong and Royal Dano are in this to give it a western feel, but the film is slow and dull. Katherine Ross works but Morgan Fairchild seems to have just bumbled in from the set of "Fantasy Island". Nothing about her or their relationship is believable or interesting. Except maybe when she's swimming in the river.
But the real problem is as good as he has been as a supporting player (:Electric Horseman") he's no lead.
