Review: For anybody that likes action movies with a western setting mixed with action, violence, shocking things, and John Wyane then you should check this movie out. It's about a guy named Burdette who gets arrested b a sheriff for committing a murder in the saloon. The ranchers men try to help save and rescue him but before they try to they end up in a shootout with the guards of the building. I'm not really into these kind of movies but from what I watched it was actually alright.
