I heard for years about RIDE IN THE WHIRLWIND not only because it stars a then-unknown Jack Nicholson but also because it was often overplayed on a TV channel where they air only movies and every Monday they air westerns, so I knew I had to see this one. And when I finally saw last December, it didn't went over my expectations but it was worth a watch.
It begins with Wes (Nicholson), Otis and Vern (Cameron Mitchell) that pass near an hanged man, and soon after they go in a cabin with three men. After a while a posse comes near the cabin and starts shooting... because Wes, Otis and Vern didn't knew that the three men were wanted and after Vern is shot, Wes and Otis will go separately with Wes managing to survive until the end of the movie.
The settings in Utah were great and the acting good on a whole, and there were various edge of your-seat moments up until the epic ending. Not an outstanding western but still a very watchable one.
