Western
Clay Hardin, a Deputy U.S. Marshal, is about to turn in his badge and take the job as the territory's Indian commissioner until the notorious Ben Thompson slays the marshal when he tried to make an arrest. Clay turns his back on a white-collar job and his girl to pursue the gang. Picking up a bounty hunter and a beautiful half-breed woman along the way, the little band follows the trail into Apache land where the lawman discovers that the outlaws plan to sell repeating rifles to the Indians.

Noir is my passion but Westerns are my comfort food. And Shotgun is a nice fast-food snack. Nothing too exciting going on here. Hadyen is a perfect cowboy as he always is. DeCarlo is done no favors by wardrobe. She wears a puffy pirate shirt and mom jeans through the entire film. Her hair is cut like every 50's TV housewife. A review on Amazon says her ass looked huge in those jeans. I regret reading that before watching because I checked her out every time she got on a horse with Sterling (she has some junk in the trunk, it's not the jeans).
Scott is as slimy as he always is.
The film looked great on widescreen. A few excellent scenes -- the snake bit at the beginning, and the horseback shotgun duel at the end (RIP actual snake!). Reminded me of Hayden throwing that harpoon in another western of his.
Overall, Hayden is great, DeCarlo is strangely unlikable and Scott dies in a horrible way but somehow isn't moving at all.
