Agreed. I would also add to your list:
13 Days The Postman
And a Woman Democrat governor not only abolished the Rangers but only approved these two hard men to go after a pair of young serial thrill killers and bandits when she had no choice. Excellent film.
Bad guy? He once played a compulsive schizophrenic serial killer whose daughter inherits the trait. Don’t know his politics (maybe don’t want to know) but I do respect Costner as an actor willing to take risks. And no matter what any of us think of Woody Harrelson, he can steal a scene better than anybody alive.
Also my first thought when I saw the headline....bunch of "Seasoned Citizens" on FR! ;-)
Harrelson was outstanding, as usual.
this was an excellent film ... the good guys were the heroes and the ruthless cold-blooded killers were the bad guys (and girls) ...
“I wish I could walk into a gun store and pick up a Thompson and a Colt Monitor.”
they’re available legally (though not many), and cost fortunes to buy ... I personally own two Tommys: one is a 1921/1928 Colt Navy Overstamp in pristine condition and the other is a WWII US Army M1A1 originally sent to the Chinese to fight the Japanese in WWII, which was then given to North Vietnam by the Chinese, taken from a dead Cong, and then brought back to the U.S. by a naval aviator after the war from whom I purchased it a few years ago ...
Just finished watching this movie last night, and I liked it; for the story, for the acting/actors, for the scenery, for the autos, for the clothes, etc.
I don’t reckon the places and scenes in the 1934 movie depiction, are much different than my youth in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado 1948-1955.
I saw Highwaymen movie and loved it. Great acting and story.
Thumbs up on The Postman. Maybe it was misunderstood?
Excellent movie. Watched it twice over the past week.
According to the movie, he was going to be a preacher.
Funny he asked the man in the hardware store specifically for an M1917, ...then never used it. For a handgun he only every used an SA Army.
