Title: Sorry, But It's Pretty Much A Snooze Fest.
Review: I love Westerns and I love Sam Elliott. I also don't demand that movies have a lightning pace. But all that said, this was a desperately dull film. It simply lurched from one scene to another with hardly a plot to speak of, and unfortunately the overall solid (but unfortunately wasted) cast isn't able to rise above the material. Uninteresting characters plus a complete lack of narrative focus makes for one of the most surprisingly boring Westerns I've ever seen. If you want to see much better examples of Sam Elliott doing Loius L'Amour, check out 'The Sacketts,' 'The Shadow Riders,' and 'The Quick and the Dead.' None of those films rank among the better Westerns ever made either, but they're miles ahead of 'Conagher.'
