Silverado Movie Review 1985

Affectionate pastiche of western cliches has everything a viewer could ask for--except Indians. Straightforward plot has four virtuous cowboys rise up against a crooked lawman in a blaze of six guns. No subtlety from the first big Western in quite a while, but plenty of fun and laughs.
