Warden of Red Rock (2001) (TV)

A so-so end-of-the-old-west flick., 23 March 2001
Author: George Parker from Orange County, CA USA
Remember those old westerns where the good guys were really good and the bad guys were really bad and they could shoot a man off horseback at 300 yards and never hit the horse?
Well, "Warden of Red Rock" is cut from the same cloth. The film tells the story of the warden of an Arizona territorial prison (circa 1910) who, past his prime, begins feeling old and decides to make some changes in his life. The film follows him through the usual prison stuff (execution, break-out, etc.) and an involvement with the wife and daughter of an executed prisoner. "Warden..." makes for an okay watch if expectations are kept low.

A Family Film Set In A Prison, 13 August 2003
Author: Theo Robertson from Isle Of Bute , Scotland
Yes you`ve read the above summary right , WARDEN OF RED ROCK is a family film . As a big fan of OZ I was left reeling watching this , there`s no shankings , no gang rapes and no cynicism . In fact its claim to be a prison film is extremely tenious , it`s more like WARDEN QUINN MEDICINE WOMAN and tells the story of how James Cann`s kind , noble character makes a promise to an inmate to return his possesions to his wife after he`s been hung . Remember Robert Redford as the title character in BRUBAKER ? Well the warden in this movie makes Henry Brubaker look like an out and out Nazi
You`ve probably realised that I was expecting something else from WARDEN OF RED ROCK , and I was . The info button on my remote didn`t mention it was a TVM , gave it a 15 certificate and it was broadcast just after midnight so I was expecting some violence and bad language which never came . Less cynical viewers might enjoy it perhaps
A good guy!, 22 August 2004

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
SPOILER included... How I have missed good westerns with REAL heroes! With so many anti-heroes in the movies, it was wonderful to see an outlaw gone straight who really has become a good, honest man. I wish he'd been a little quicker (writer's fault) at discovering the dishonest administrator cheating on him and the prisoners, but at least he did fire him and make life better for the prisoners. A simple western but gratifying for being able to enjoy James Caan as a really "good guy". His relationship with the widow was wonderful... be still my heart! A warden any prisoner would want watching over him, and a romantic hero any decent woman would die for!
Great old-fashioned Western!!, 5 July 2001
Author: cellypelican from gulf coast
James Caan at his best! The Western genre has almost disappeared from modern movie-making, but this is definitely a goody!
Caan is a progressive, compassionate prison warden in 1910 Arizona. (Location shots were in Durango, MX.) Carradine (as a former buddy) is put into his prison & Caan must keep a watchful eye on his old pal. Enough action to keep the movie rolling, but sidebar stories to keep the movie interesting. From Showtime.
