"Nobody give it to me son.I fought for it."- By: Mark Pearce, 02 Dec 2007 Gritty oater chronicles the hardship of frontier life as steely widow Evie(Katherine Ross)and her two children stranded in Indian country through tragic circunstances attempt to make the best of it by becoming a rest stop for the stagecoaches that pass through.Into their life comes Conn Conagher(Sam Elliott)a cowboy who forms an "attachment" to them but is wary of settling down especiallly when he takes sides with an aged landowner who is being persecuted by rustlers. Real life husband & wife Elliott & Ross shine in tailor made parts,the story moves briskly with several unpredictable moments & as with alll good ensemble pieces the minor characters are nicely shaded & add to the proceedings. Nothing original & J A C Redford's score can be a little intrusive at times but the location work & action sequences are handled with finesse & this is top notch entertainment.
