Johnny Cash as a gunslinger


As the title suggests, this western is about a gunfight - but not just any gunfight. Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash play two retired gunmen who agree to duel to the death in front of a sold-out crowd for money. The film is similar in concept to “The Quick and the Dead,” and the viewer must wait until the climactic ending to see who lives and who dies. But perhaps the main question is whether this is a western or a character study. I would lean more toward character study. The movie is a bit slow and the ending is a bit abrupt, but seeing Johnny Cash as a gunslinger is well worth the watch. 2 action rating.
