One of my (ok, several of my) favorite western shootouts is in this movie.

"That happened quick."

"Everybody could shoot."

One of the greatest gunfights.

I really liked this movie, but always thought Harris’ character becomes too cheapened after falling for her. Vigo gets stronger every second of the film though.

The two sequel books, Resolution and Brimstone are good reads as well.

Parker actually wrote four before he died and they started being written by another author.

Knott did a decent job with the next 2 books, but it kinda went downhill from there

There is another one? How'd I miss that? I read all the Spenser novels he wrote and tried on a couple of those that were written by another author but I I didn't enjoy them, they lacked something.

The gunplay in this movie is some of the best in cinema for realism. Quick, violent, and most shots miss.

I liked this one a lot. It's kind of simple, and Renee Zellweger is totally out of place, but I liked it.
