Quigley Down Under

Pros: Action, acting, scenery, music, story

Pros: Fun baggage-free Western film.

Cons: Nothing, really.

The Bottom Line: A really decent old-school Western.

Review: Back in the old days when you wanted to make a movie telling a story set in the American Old West... Probably you called John Ford to direct it. You went to see if John Wayne was available to star. The feisty female lead might be, Maureen O'Hara, ...

Pros: romance of the purest kind

Cons: violence

Review: I saw this movie because my daughter is a Tom Selleck fan, but came away from it knowing that this movie has the most romantic scene of all times in a movie.When he leaves her, stops and looks back my heart knew this movie is not about the shooting,...

Pros: Selleck, San Giacomo, Rickman, script, photography, score

Cons: None

Pros: mostly realistic, fast-paced, awesome landscapes, promotes respect for life, awesome cinematography, a great western

The Bottom Line: called on to kill the Australian aborigines, Quigley has a better idea, real aborigines play themselves, the love story works without any mush

Pros: The cast,action,scenery

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: How can you go wrong with Selleck,Rickman,San Giacomo?

Review: This is an excellent "old time" cowboy action flick, that make you think and consider many issues before the credits roll. A gunslinger from the old west travels down under to get a new start. This takes a good guy vs. bad guy theme a level above the...

Pros: A good western

Cons: Didn't see any.

Review: "Quigly Down Under" is not the typical western. But let's give Tom Selleck some credit for pulling this little story up to great standards. Despite the fact that this was written with Steve McQueen in mind, no one could have played Quigly...

Pros: Scenery, story, acting
