Title: It should be called The Master Snoozer
Review: I saw this on TV many years ago and thought it was a made-for-TV movie. With good reason, it turns out. The plot develops at a glacial pace and is full of actions and motivations that don't make sense. For example, the actions of the hero's wife at the end of the movie are totally out of charcater, given what she's said and done earlier in the film. Rather improbably, the movie portrays early California as a sword culture coexisting with a gun culture, which allows the producer to deliver a combo Samurai flick and Gunfighter flick, with lots of the dramatic pauses for which both are noted. In fact, the plot plods along because it's so full of dramatic pauses you could almost say the whole thing was one big dramatic pause. The only redeeming feature of this movie was the beautiful scenery. It's not worth the price; I'm not sure it would even be worth half of what they're asking.
Is the review positive or negative?
