Review of Return of the Gunfighter

I like this movie, but I'm a Robert Taylor fan and this is a good solid role for him. If you don't like Robert Taylor, this is pretty cookie cutter.

Here's what I liked:

• Nice job building the mystique about pistolero Ben Wyatt.

• Robert Taylor does his usual excellent work replaying the Jimmy Ringo character from the original "Gunfighter". I won't criticize this for "ripping off" the 1950 film, since they pay tribute to the original film in their title.

• I liked the main henchman Sundance, played by John David Chandler. He had a real Steve Buscemi kind of look to him. He was also one of the four weird Hammond brothers in "Ride the High Country". He was also the bounty hunter at the end of "The Outlaw Josey Wales" whom Josey tells, "Dyin' ain't much of a livin' boy", before shooting him down.

• Nice use of Mexico and Mexicans.

Here's what I didn't like:

• Weak heavy.

• No comic relief

• Nothing new added to clichéd plot.

• Riddled with plot holes and implausibilities, not worth detailing.
