VHS Movie Reviews of Last Stand at Saber River [VHS]Movie Review: Good western ... SCENERY Summary: 4 StarsThis movie was filmed in country where I grew up, that is now a National Park ... Valles Caldera ... lots of memories/nostalgia for me.
Movie Review: Good show Summary: 5 StarsI just love Tom Selleck! Great Show. Pretty much anything with Tom Selleck is a winner in my book.
Movie Review: Good Cast, Good Western Summary: 5 StarsTom Selleck made a couple of made-for-cable TV westerns that were very good, and this is one of them. The always-reliable Selleck is convincig in the lead role and Suzy Amis is fun to watch to in the corresponding female lead. It's also kind of neat to see a very young Haley Joel Osment two years before he became famous in "The Sixth Sense."
Once again, as these westerns tend to be, the viewer is treated to some beautiful scenery and in addition, a good story of a man taking taking family back home to Arizona - not the north or south - after the Civil War and not finding a nice welcome from the home folks.
In this film, we also get two Carradines: David and Keith, villains but not as despicable as many are shown in other westerns. The Carradine family has produced some really fine actors over the years.
It's just another one of these solid, relatively-unknown westerns that I am glad to discover. It's highly-recommended.
Movie Review: Tom Selleck Summary: 5 Starsthis is another great moview starring Tom Seleck. Any movie he makes is good. You can count on no filthy language, no sex and very little violence. Have many of his movies and have never been dissapointed. Very enjoyable.
Movie Review: Last stand at Saber River Summary: 5 StarsThis is another great western with Tom Selleck. My wife and myself enjoyed the movie very much.
Summary of Last Stand at Saber River [VHS]Tom Selleck shows a harder side of his persona as a disillusioned Confederate who returns home in the waning days of the Civil War in this adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel. His wife, Suzy Amis, isn't ready to forgive him for leaving his family behind for the "adventure" of war, and his children hardly remember him. Haunted by his actions in the war and caught in a power struggle in the Arizona territory, Selleck's soul-scarred survivor makes a last stand to protect the only thing left that matters to him--his homestead and his family. The film has its share of gunfights, showdowns, conspiracies, and Civil War rivalries, and even a runaway stagecoach, but its power lies in the somber exploration of how misunderstandings and conflicts tear at a marriage during such a volatile time, when ideals are set against duty to family. Director Dick Lowry's lean style makes the most of the gorgeous landscapes, and he creates a strong dramatic tension in the bubbling undercurrent between Selleck, who leaves behind the jovial character of his Louis L'Amour Westerns for a man hardened and embittered by war, and Amis, an excellent actress who brings to life a woman who shoots, speaks her mind, and harbors resentment just as well as any brooding male hero. Keith and David Carradine costar as Union wranglers who hold a grudge against the Confederate veteran. One of the most mature TV Westerns ever made. --Sean Axmaker
