Dead'sMan's Walk

I watched the flim about 50 times, and I was very impressed with young Gus and woodrow, also I could not stop laughing when shad and bigfoot were telling the boys all about the methods the comanches use to kill and torture the only thing that I did not like is that buffalo hump got off too easy, and bigfoot being one of the men to face the firing squad. All in all I enjoyed the flim very much and I really like how all the actors played their parts jonny was scream, but Gus seem to be jealous of woodrow even though the two of them were great friends I am still trying to figure out what was buffalo hump doing out there all alone sitting on a blanket? 
KEITH CARRADINE WAS SIMPLY TERRIFIC

I've watched this movie about 4 times, and really enjoyed the personifications of these historic characters (albeit apocryphal). Johnny Lee Miller and David Arquette are very convincing as Gus and Woodrow. The most memorable performance is easily by that of Keith Carradine. He portrayed Bigfoot Wallace, a larger than life frontiersman, who actually outlived the firing squad at Saltillo, in a clever, poetic and humorous way. The only downer of the movie, is the same with any and all Larry McMurthy films: they're depressing as hell! Death, tragedy and sufferin'! And as with all of his films, the conquering will of the human spirit shines through. A fine example of a Western film.
One of the dullest, most inane movies that I ever watched

To be fair, I also disliked the much praised Terms of Endearment, so maybe McMurtry fans will love this. For myself, if there are ever prizes for the worst beginning and end of a movie, this is a contender for both. The first beginning is an elderly Native American woman warning her son to beware of a truly odd pair of women. Then it switches to a fascinating discussion among the cowboys: "Woody, did you ever see a whore (pronounced hur) with a snapping turtle?" "Why no, Gus, I never did see a hur with a snapping turtle. How about you Clem, did you ever see a hur with a snapping turtle?" "Why gracious sakes alive, no, I never did see a hur with a snapping turtle." I'm sure it didn't really last for twenty minutes, but it was a long time until she finally threw it at someone. "How about you Slim, did you ever see a hur with a snapping turtle?" "Oh no, I seen an investment banker with a snapping turtle, but never no hur." Maybe the idea is to convince us that, say what you will about television, it beats flying snapping turtles. "How about you, Russ ..." Most of the movie consists of watching the characters drop like flies from various causes, mostly being shot. This is less exciting than one might think: the very few characters I liked died, and I was utterly indifferent to the fate of the rest. Finally, our surviving heroes are held captive by the Mexicans and then sent on their way with two women and a boy. They are nearly attacked by the aforementioned Native American warrior. However, his mother did warn him that if he saw a white woman with leprosy riding naked on a horse followed by a black woman, also riding, brandishing a sword, he should high-tail it out of there. The most bizarre thing is that the women assume these postures as if this were the well-known, sure-fire method of scaring off attacking Indians. The viewer should take the hint and vamoose as well.
An excellent prequel to a Western classic.

'Dead Man's Walk' is a wonderful introduction to the characters of Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call.I was most impressed by Johnny Lee Miller's Texas accent--he is one of England's rising stars and his accent was very believable.David Arquette captured Gus and his mannerisms perfectly and I thought that he and Johnny had great chemistry.Special mention has to go to Keith Carradine and his performance--he is one of America's finest actors. The picture quality was not as good as I had hoped as the video was in extended play format.I would like to know if there is a video in SP version.Other than that I would recommend 'Dead Man's Walk' to anyone who loves Westerns.

This movie is average if you like westerns. although realistic, it was nothing more that sorrow,pain and trouble throughout the picture.It is a true example of "HUMAN SUFFERING" at it's finest. If you like good movies...Stay away from this one!  Read for more: http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=1...
