Review of Ride the High Country (1962) by Paul Z — 10 Jul 2012

Not a bad film but Sam Peckinpah's pre-The Wild Bunch western suffers as a result of barely anything going on as well as the focus on too many characters who become lost in the fray. A film that could benefit from a second viewing in the future but for now, places itself as one of the great director's weaker films, possibly because the film pales in comparison to the films that Peckinpah made later in his career which enhanced his reputation.
