While Sam Elliot and the western genre are nothing new, his character is something I haven't seen him play. Sam Elliot as a villain marshal never listening to reason, thinking he is correct every step of the way. The character is a tough marshal, with questionable morals as he relentlessly stalks the two "protagonists" of this story.
Craig Sheffer and Linda Fiorentino are robber and gunfighters in their own respect. But, they do what they do for different reasons. They were thrown into their plights, or use the robberies for a better purpose. They work well together onscreen, bickering so much that they do so during a gunfight.
This films style harkens me to Sam Peckinpah and Walter Hill. Slow motion, zooms into the blasting gun barrels, and quick editing galore. It's honestly an underrated film, with solid performances and locations. Worth a watch just to see Sam Elliot as a villain.
