Product: The Sacketts [VHS] (1979)
Rating: 5.0
A Solid Film
Tom Selleck, Sam Elliot, Ben Johnson, Glen Ford, Slim Pickens, John Vernon, Gene Evans, Gilbert Roland, Gene Evans, LQ Jones, Jeff Osterage and Jack Elam. I firmly believe we'll never see such an ensemble again. The movie is a little predictable in places, however, that doesn't take anything away from the fine acting.Tom, Sam and Jeff really click as the Sackett Brothers and Elliot looks as if he just stepped out of a time machine. It's always a pleasure to see Ben Johnson. Who, IMHO, was one of Hollywood's finest character actors. His roll as Sgt. Tyree in "She wore a Yellow Ribbon" is a prime example.This film will probably never reveive kudos as similar films like Tombstone, True Grit or Will Penny. But, if your looking to spend some quality time with some good old fashion storytelling. This film will rise to the occaision.I aslo might add, this film really deserves to be re-released on DVD.
