Based on some other reviews, I wasn't sure. I read the Hollywood Reporter review and decided to give it a chance. Entertaining and well acted. It was worth my time.

Desolation Canyon
(2006 TV Movie)
Steady Western

I thought it was pretty darn decent western. I've seen a lot worse. I thought there were some great comedic moments. Edwin being a "rooster" was funny. I love Duffy and Steach. The woman who played the mom couldn't act her way out of a paper bag but otherwise, good entertainment.
Diablo
(2015)
Hmmm, I'm not sure what to think.

Okay, I've seen every movie the elder Eastwood has been in and I think what makes him so great is he picked his material well. Scott should have known better than take this role. He's never going to be the cowboy Clint was, period. He shouldn't even try. The only saving grace in this movie is the cinematography, it was beautifully photographed. The problem was the story, it just wasn't well written. If you don't have a good story, without holes, you're screwed. For example, after he leaves the Indians who save him, Eastwood's character goes to reach into his saddlebag and there appears to be hair with blood in the bag. Is it a scalp? There's never any explanation given. Did Eastwood scalp the Indians? Big holes like that ruin this movie. Also the dialog was terrible. I stuck with it hoping I'd get an explanation and never did. At the end I just said, WTF???
