Review of Comes a Horseman (1978) by Ice R — 04 Oct 2009

I think the biggest problem with this movie is timing. in the late 70's western, both classical and revisionist, was out of date genre. especially western that has missed movie timing. is it believable that the big bad land baron waits until the end of WWII to swallow his opponents? Is it believable that the oil company waits for the drilling until the same time? the main corpus of the story is ok: the ecconomic liberty of an individual, but the whole "where have all the cowboys gone" metaphore is just too much.
