Review of The Long Riders (1980) by Grant S — 19 Jan 2013
Ok Western-drama, detailing the exploits of the James-Younger gang (Jesse James et al). Not very captivating though: seems pretty much join-the-dots. You never get to feel much empathy for any of them. Just seems kind of bland.
This said, the action sequences are good. The slo-mo shooting sequences are a bit overdone though, and weren't necessary in the first place.
Good performances from three sets of brothers in the main roles: David, Keith and Robert Carradine as the Youngers, James and Stacy Keach as Jesse and Frank James respectively and Dennis and Randy Quaid as the Millers.
Entertaining enough, but not great.
