Absolutely the best western ever made, made for TV or not. The casting is first rate, Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones-you cannot ask for anyone better to portray these 2 characters of the West. Remains true to the book and should remain a classic for generations to come. Owns the book and the movie. A masterpiece.Was this review helpful to you? Sign in to rate -

Excellent casting and very faithful to the book. Very faithful to the non-glamorous aspects of the Old West. Adult thought throughout and excellent character development. Truly an epic although it takes place over only the course of a year.Was this review helpful to you? Sign in to rate -

This was a good western, but really not fit for children to watch, which was a dissapointment. I did buy the DVD, but make sure my grandchildren are not around to see it.Was this review helpful to you? Sign in to rate -

Too much emphasis on whores and pokes; Too much killing and burning men, McMurtry's favorite tool. Some scenes seem to be for shock value only.
Actors first rate, did the best they could with the unlikely plot.Was this review helpful to you? Sign in to rate
