Editorial Review:
Tom Selleck plays Matthew Quigley, the cowboy hero in this traditional Western, set very untraditionally in Australia. After some macho silliness in the opening minutes, the story settles into a surprisingly evocative tale of Quigley, a sharpshooter who had come to the country to work for a land baron (Alan Rickman) and who is on the mend after a brutal attack. In the company of a woman (Laura San Giacomo) abused by that same baron, Quigley gets his strength and his shooting skills back while healing in the midst of aboriginal people as well as some stunning Australian settings. Director Simon Wincer (Phar Lap) brings a lot of integrity to this rare horse opera from contemporary Hollywood. --Tom Keogh

Just Perfect 
2009-09-03 - The DVD was just like it was stated to be. I am very happy with it. I would recommend someone to buy from this individual.
Classic Tom Selleck 
2009-08-29 - Great movie. As always, you will like Tom Selleck's character. He is the good guy that grows and develops through the movie. A little violent at times, but if a little old fashion shot-em up does not bother you, you should like this.
Watch it again and again 
2009-08-27 - Tom Selleck is the perfect cowboy, looking for the last remnants of the west in a country that is more wild and lawless than he ever imagined. His portrayal of Quigley is stunning, a true man's man with a sharp shooter's eye,that has to determine the moral fiber behind the situation he's in. Laura San Giacomo--fabulous! Is she just pretending, or is she really what she portrays herself to be to everyone in the outback.
Great acting, beautiful scenery, wonderful tale and Alan Rickman is at his best bad guy ever.
