Fun Stuff

Quotes:
Dennis Dineen: I know all about the brother and the sickness inside him. He didn't get that from Steve, he was born with it.
Brick Larson: I don't think that Tony ever did get born. I think that somebody just found him wedged into a gun cylinder and shot him out into the world by pressing the trigger.

A well-made, well-acted, realistic and dramatic western., 19 May 1999
8/10
Author: gidge from Limerick, Ireland

This movie is a western of great merit. Although modest in length and budget and lacking big-star actors, it presents a dramatic and realistic picture of family relationships (between two brothers) in an authentic western setting. The screenplay and acting are outstanding. The dramatic conflict between two brothers who have gone different ways in life is very well depicted and the climactic scenes very well made. Overall, a modest but very enjoyable and satisfying movie.
