This star studded Western is a combination of action and drama, and it is more than meets the eye.
It has the look of a traditional "lawman" trying to keep the land baron from freeing his son from justice theme, but we get a variety of things going on, and see all of them.
On the surface, we see the "old timers" at work, and while we are fooled into thinking this is a nostalgic film, we eventually see that this is a point of the film, that it is about the way justice in the West changes, and the people who change with it.
In effect, it is a drama with the look and feel of action, because of some clever directing that changes the location just enough to keep it flowing.
