Terrific and very entertaining

“I really like this movie and the sequel, this one being the better movie. The third act is silly perhaps, and the crime subplot could have been a little better handled. However, a lot of things make this movie terrific and very entertaining.

Overall, thoroughly enjoyable and if you haven't seen the West ” read more
