Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com The shadows of Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpah loom large over this modest but well-executed Western, which boasts a strong performance from Linda Fiorentino. Rated: 3/4 Jun 20, 2006 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com Don't even think about expecting anything new or noteworthy out of The Desperate Trail -- but it's still kinda fun in a "this is stupid but I'm enjoying it anyway" way. Rated: 3/5 May 25, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Sam Elliott was the only good actor in the whole film Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting Western movie with Sam Elliott as the mean Marshal after the bad girl. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member O.K I am a sucker for Sam, but still a decent story Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A fairly enjoyable, violent western that contains some strong action sequences but is let down with a bit of a b-movie feel, to the proceedings. This movie could have benefited with a higher production value and the musical score is a bit heavy handed to. The cast are good and deserved a little better as Sam Elliott was in the classic western 'Tombstone' and Linda Florentino is cool. Obviously a selling piont but its a typical straight to DVD release. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Reasonably good and interesting plot. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member ok western. sam elliot is cool as always. could have been a lot more, but since this as a straight to video release i can`t expect all that much either. but worth seeing, no doubt for a western fan anyways. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
