Good adventure flick. Tom Selleck plays Mathew Quigley. American tough guy from the Wild West who goes to Australia to show the natives how things are done. He is tougher, faster on the draw, a better shot, and cooler than any of the Australian locals. Wonderful score. Alan Rickman plays the villain ranch owner Marston. He does a great job, looks mean and nasty all the way thru. Laura San Giacomo plays Crazy Cora, who starts out just causing trouble for Quigley but by the end of the movie they are in love and engaged. She does good too. Wonderful scenes of a big three masted schooner with a good wind in her sails and a bone in her teeth headed into Adelaide. Other good scenes on the way out to Marston's ranch of an eight ox team pulling a huge wagon past really dramatic scenery.
A good watch. It's been a long time since Hollywood made a flick this cool.
