Review of Tom Horn (1980) by Dean M — 21 May 2011
Steve McQueen doesn't give a great performance in his next-to-last motion picture, about the last days of a real-life Wyoming bounty hunter, nor does director William Wiard craft a memorable Western.
The movie has its moments here and there but results to be a little bit tiring and slow-moving. It's a melancholy chronicle and near bittersweet dealing with the last exploits of Horn who is shown as hired hand to eliminate some rustlers. Good support cast who provides the best moments as Richard Farnsworth, Slim Pickens and Billy Green Bush, and a beautiful Linda Evans.
At the end of the movie is a 1904 quote from Coble, saying that that Tom was not guilty of the crime of which he was accused and convicted. That's what I thought he was.
