Based on a Louis L'amour novel, Utah Blaine is a routine affair bolstered by some good action scenes such as a fistfight and a plethora of shootouts - its fast moving and well-acted, however it doesn't rise above being a mere programmer. Yet it's still worth checking out, but it doesn't match the other L'amour adaptations such as Hondo, the Tall Stranger and Shalako in greatness.
