Reviews
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
The Alpha Video DVD for "West of Rainbow's End" also includes the Tim McCoy film "Outlaw Deputy". What's kinda funny about it is that both films feature a friend of Tim's getting killed...and Tim seeking justice for the murder! I've seen this same plot device used in some other Tim McCoy movies, which means that it's a real bad idea to be this guy's friend...even if he inevitably captures and punished those responsible! Early in the film, Lightning Ed is murdered. No one is sure who the killer is...and his friend, Tim, is determined to find who did it. So he heads to Red Bluff...with a score to settle! There, he tries to find out who is responsible...and it looks as if some local jerk named Johnson is behind it all. But, being a hero, he can't just shoot the guy....he's got to gather evidence and waits for Johnson to make the first move.Up until late in the film, I would have said this was a rather ordinary B-western. However, the finale is dandy and here they really worked with McCoy's strength, as in real life he was probably the best shooter working in pictures. Tough and exciting....this one's a winner.
