Anytime you watch a movie based on a novel that you have read at least once it never matches your expectations because film cannot deliver as much message as the written word, although it is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, is difficult to portray the character's thoughts in a film when going through the filter of the director' s idea of how it should be. Sam Elliott is a good actor and has become one of the archetypal Western characters of our media history. If you enjoy westerns, you will probably enjoy this film. If you are familiar with the writings of Louis l'Amour you will probably enjoy it more. I gave it four out of five stars because I felt that the script and screenplay could've been a little bit more robust.

An almost unknown gem in western movie lore, this one outshines many others in all ares. Now, there is another movie with the same title and you DO NOT want to think one is a remake of the other. A brief review of the second title: it not only is stupid, but it stinks as well; review concluded. No, this is a presentation of a Louis Lamour story, and is one of the rare occasions when the movie is better than the book. Yeah, I know; who the hell am I to criticise old Louie? I'm the guy who read the book and watched the western, that's who. It is an HBO movie that turns out to be a happy convergence of talent that is serendipitous to say the least. The photographic direction, color and scene choice, lighting, sound, props, and plot movement are superb. The acting and character development are too good for such a small movie, and yet, there it is; a highly polished jewel for your enjoyment. This is one of the Sam Eliot westerns that would make up a great triad of westerns for a critics choice ( in my humble but correct opinion ). The other two being "Conagher", and "You Know My Name". Kate Capshaw is beautiful and sympathetic as a wife, mother and civilized counterpoint to Eliot's wilderness rough cut of humanity. Sam is as good as Randolph Scott as western individual, and the obvious temptation to overuse his portrayal was resisted to a fine point of excellence. Matt Clark plays "Doc Shabbit" the leader of a band of losers who are all too stupid and cheap to let live.Just when you want to laugh at their lack of smarts,however, their brutality catches up with them and they can't quite see it. The inevitable finish is not quite foregone, but carried through to no doubt.There are always small points of contention, to be sure ( as there are in all movies ), these are to be ignored in the face of the result. To wit: one great story of the old west. One thing I believe it helps to keep in mind is that life itself is confusing, messy and so imperfect as to be almost a joke (as are we all). Settle back and enjoy this rare treat for quality western lovers .... sammy.

That other disaster of a movie with the same title starring Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, Sharon Stone et al has nothing on this film. The cinematography is wonderful. The plot is much more believable, and the interplay between characters works. Sam Elliott is the perfect rascal of a good guy in the person of Con Vallian. One complaint -- You'll enjoy this a lot more if you don't look too closely at the rifles. It's a shame that they did such a great job with other aspects of the movie, and then tried to pass off cobbled together collections of parts as 1860 Henry rifles. I think Vallian is carrying an 1873, which would be accurate for the timing of the film (unlike most of the later John Wayne movies, where he's sporting an 1892 Winchester, which hadn't been invented in the time period assumed for most of those films.) On the whole, this is an enjoyable film, especially where the scenic work is concerned.

Well shot and directed. A great script from an excellent source, and certainly well acted. One the best westerns I've seen in awhile.

I saw this movie decades ago and loved it then, and still love it. You can't go wrong with a good Louie L'Amour book and when a producer is smart enough to star Sam Elliot, Kate Capshaw and Tom Conti, the movie becomes a favorite. All three main characters are strong. Even though Sam Elliot is an absolute favorite of mine, during the movie I was also drawn to the character Tom Conti played. He wasn't a wimp. The understanding both men had toward each other pertaining to a beautiful woman, Tom Conti's wife played by Kate Capshaw, was extremely well done. I think this movie was one of Sam Elliot's best. But then I just like him, period. :) except when he plays a killer, that is scary because he is so convincing.
There were two reasons I purchased the DVD. First for the enjoyment of watching it anytime I felt I needed a Sam Elliot fix but more so because I actually reference him and the movie in a fiction I wrote which will be published in August or September. While talking with other women about my book and referencing Sam Elliot and the movie, all but one woman who has never seen a Sam Elliot, gave the 21st century equivalent of a swoon over his looks and voice. In other words, their toes curled. LOL
There is something about the way Sam Elliot looked at Kate Capshaw that made you wish there was more than one kiss between them, but that would have ruined the movie. :) Again.. a great movie.

If you believed great western films died with the passing of John Wayne, I have news for you - this western is every bit as good as those of the Duke.
Based on a story by Louis L'Amour, "The Quick and the Dead" is a fast-paced western about Duncan and Susanna McKaskel and son who are traveling across the continent to settle near the Big Horn Mountains in 1876. Escaping their violent memories of the Civil War, they run into Wyoming Territory where a man (and in this case, a woman) settle their problems with a gun. They are befriended by a nomadic western ranger, Con Vallian, who is reminisient of John Wayne's character Hondo. Mr. Vallian (Sam Elliott), takes a personal interest in the wife of the pilgrims, Susanna McKaskel (Kate Capshaw). Not wanting harm to come to Susanna, Vallian becomes their guardian angel, as they are pursued by eight ruthless theives that are intent on taking everything they own and having their way with Susanna.
Sam Elliott's role as Vallian is an admirable 5-star performance, which establishes him as a premier western star in the post John Wayne era. Sheperd brings his character to life with his deep resonant voice, his glowering smoldering eyes, and his ruggedly handsome good looks. Elliott's Vallian is a pragmatic character who would not mind taking over husbandly duties with Susanna, should anything happen to her husband Duncan. As the story unfolds, Vallian builds a grudging respect for Duncan, seeing the steady grit inside the man.
Kate Capshaw plays Susanna McKaskel, and is the obvious reason for Vallian's interest in the family. Capshaw is truly a strikingly beautiful woman; however, she is also a strikingly good actress and carries off the part of a pioneering woman with ease. Her performance matches Sam Elliot's scene for scene.
The story unfolds quickly and there is a level of tension thoughout the movie that keeps you in your seat. You will not be disappointed in this movie. I intend to move it to my "keeper" movie shelf with my other western classics. It deserves its place there.

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2015
In my opinion this is both one of the very best Sam Elliott westerns and one of the best westerns combined. Of course it based on the Louis L'Amour book, so right there you know the story is going to be good. Sam Elliott plays Con Vallian, a true bad ass cowboy, half breed Indian, tracker, gun fighter, hardened, wizened and as weathered as the dessert itself. As he hunting someone, he comes across a family that clearly is not fit for the pioneer life that they have embarked on, and Elliott sees that their lives are about to be ended by a group of low life outlaws. Elliott clearly takes a hankering to the mother, played by Kate Capshaw. What makes this movie so good is that Elliott is mean as a snake, shows no mercy for the outlaws, hunts them down like they are just prey. But, he is a good man, yes he has a thing for Kate Capshaw, but he does nothing dishonorable and he goes out of his way to help this family, and he genuinely grows to like the father and son, and stays honorable right up to the end. It's good old fashioned ethics of the by gone era, kinda a John Wayne type movie in that regard, but with Elliott giving a great performance about a man who is a hunter, and lives by that code.

Another great western based on the book of the same name by L'Amour!
This one, although written with a similar style with strong, courageous, manly-men standing firm against hardship and injustice, and intelligent yet feminine women who stand beside them, this one has a slight twist in plot that runs a new line compared to other L'Amour books.
In this one, L'Amour builds a tension between the hero, Con Vallian, and the heroine, Suzanna, who happens to be another man's wife. Yet L'Amour develops this tension artfully, and tastefully, and in the book the hero remains a gentleman (if that word quite applies here) and the heroine, a lady. The movie takes a different course of events, and has the hero (Elliott) kiss the heroine (Capshaw) who is married to another man, and later invest a few moments admiring her as she showers in a waterfall in her skivvies. While this twist of plot may appeal to a number of viewers, it may leave many family viewers uncomfortable with the content.
Yet the movie is well done, and the actors and acting excellent, making this a good add to the movie library of most western-lovers.

I read the book AFTER I saw the movie. As im reading the book I can see and hear Sam Elliott and cast in my mind lol. I didn't care for Tom Conti in his role, just didn't fit in my opinion. The bad guys were ok, after reading the book I would have re-arranged a few of the actors into different roles that I think they would have fit closer to the book. The ring leader is played by Matt Clark, who looks nothing like his counter part in the book, but is more than up to the task of playing the nasty, back shooting Doc Shabbit. Great scenery and good acting are a plus in this film. And it sticks fairly close to the book. The biggest change in a character from the book was the Indian traveling with the bad guys. I saw this movie recently on cable and bought it right away. And it is nothing like Shane as another reviewer has said. Except for the stranger helping the tenderfoots. But this premise has been used in countless westerns. Oh, and Kate Capshaw is a VERY handsome woman indeed!
