Michael Dudikoff Apparently = Bad Film?


Hey folks,

I never heard of Michael Dudikoff until I just watched this film tonight. From what I have read here, it certainly seems like most folks just give any film with Dudikoff a pass as not worth the celuloid it used.

Based on this film alone, I like Dudikoff, and I liked the story - other than the needless graphic and violent sex that really was not needed. Someone else suggested that Randy Travis stole the film from Dudikoff, and I would tend to agree with that assessment.

Other than the cheap graphic sex crap, I thought it was a decent western story. Do I rank it up there with Lonesome Dove and Open Range? No way, but it was a simple fun western. I simply cannot believe this film has been out since 1997 and there are no more positive comments about the film here on IMDb - especially with the really slick performance by Travis.

Best wishes,
Dave Wile
