Customer Review: Quite simply, Lonesome Dove (1989) is one of the best westerns of all time. Even the minor characters are multi-dimensional and fully developed. All of the acting is top notch. The direction is superb. But, this story is really about the relationship of two men: Captain Woodward Call (Tommy Lee... more info

Customer Review: Offers great entertainment. Acting is weak in spots, but overall very enjoyable. Recommended for western fans. Great late night fare with popcorn!
Customer Review: Though this film moves at a crawling pace at more than one point, it keeps your interest, even though you know exactly how it ends.
