It's been nearly two decades since audiences got a glimpse of some old coots breaking the law in a series of TV movie westerns, and now they are back with actors who would have been considered young whippersnappers in 1969. Willie Nelson, Dub Taylor, Ken Curtis, Royal Dano, and Gene Evans are the faster than they look moving foursome, with Richard Widmark, Chuck Conners and Kevin McCarthy (among others) on their trail, and Angie Dickinson providing some glamour in a nice guest appearance, and Hardy boy Shaun Cassidy is the young pup taught some new tricks by the old dogs.
Beautifully filmed on location with colorful settings, this features a witty, action packed script that jumps into action immediately when Nelson is released from prison, saunters off with an old man Shuffle as the warden knows how they come in all fire and vinegar and leave like that. The next thing you know, he's already committed a serious felony, proving that he was far from the doughtering how old geezer he appeared to be. A great way to got old actors back onto the TV screen, and it's obvious that these characters are ripe for rediscovery for the current batch of octegenarian actors who were popular 40 years ago. Perhaps one day soon, the brat pack can step into these roles.
