Review - Racketeers of the Range

Typical B western with lots of scenes of men riding fast on horses. Interesting here, since the bad guys use cars and trucks but the horses are always fast enough. O'Brien, as Barney, seems a rather lackluster hero. It was notable, however, for lots of shots and a few minor injuries, but no killing.
