But their real goal is to pick up the track of William Slade (George Nelson), who has long ago killed their mother (Wendy Crawford) and sister (Katie Nelson) - and now they've found him, a rich and ruthless landowner who seems to have his hands in every business of his hometown, including prize-fighting and betting, and who has ambitions to run for gouvernor. To their greatest surprise, Travis and Lucy find their two brothers Pete (Aaron Ginn-Forsberg) and Brody (Chade Green) in town as well, the former a gambler who places bets with Slade, the latter a prize-fighter in Slade's employ - and it rather hurts Travis and Lucy that they seem to have forgotten what Slade has done to their family. But things take a turn for the unexpected when Brody easily wins a fight Slade ordered him to throw, and Pete makes a ton of money on it. Eventually, Travis and Lucy confront Slade - and find out Pete is actually a marshal who has come to town to get a confession out of him to arrest him. But Slade's not one to let himself get arrested that easily, not with all those gunmen in his employ ...<p> <p>Now this is an enjoyably old school western - which doesn't mean it's old-fashioned or sheds a purely nostalgic light on everything, it's just a solid piece of western cinema that contains tons of action but at the same time is character-driven and chooses narrative tension over pure spectacle invariably, and it doesn't go for "updating" the genre or give things a post-modernist spin, nor does it try the tongue-in-cheek approach. And a solid directorial effort along with an able cast make this into a very cool piece of genre cinema, slick enough that even non western fans might like it. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2021"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
