Reviews for Thunder Trail

Review - Thunder Trail

A relatively enjoyable and well-acted movie for much of it, but then it seems like the director realized he was running out of time and ends it in about two minutes—Tate falls off a cliff while throwing rocks at Dick, Dick out-rides Tate's men, and then in the next scene, Bob and Amy are getting married. In these B westerns, there's never any law around to stop the bad guys or investigates the dozens of deaths.
