No too believable

Rating: 6/10 (8 February 2008)

The acting was great, the direction was okay, but the screenplay was just too unrealistic. The men transporting Wade put themselves at risk so many times, that they DESERVED to die, they were blundering idiots, at best. Would McElroy, who knew what kind of vicious psychopath Wade was, actually been stupid enough to be so close to Wade as to where he could be jumped? If he was, he wouldn't have lived as long as he did.
Ben Wade was a blood-thirsty killer plain and simple. Being exposed to "morality" for a day or two is NOT going to change this type of animal whether it's the Old West or modern day. The last thirty minutes of the picture is ridiculous; Wade actually HELPING Evans take him to the train depot, Evans taking half dozen .45 slugs and NOT being killed outright, Wade turning on his comrades and then turning himself in.
I love westerns, but if you want to view a REAL western that hasn't been watered down by a liberal, feel good Tinseltown, watch "Tombstone", "Unforgiven" or even "Blazing Saddles"!
