Shoot Out (1971)


A former bank robber searches for his double crossing partner who left him for dead, while having to look after a 6 year old girl.

An old-fashioned Western pairing an old-school outlaw with a child has some lengths, but is fairly entertaining and offers some quite nasty villains.

Halliwell (no star): "Routine, flatly-handled revenge Western."

Maltin **: "Same producer, director and screenwriter of TRUE GRIT in another Western about cowboy and little girl. Formula doesn't work; in spite of title, film has too much talk and not enough action."
