Strange sort of cowboy flick. Clearly, Scott is on a mission of death. The cast is excellent. The push up and out bra worn by the female leads seems a bit over the top but is neccessary. Scott is Scott, on steroids. The landscape is surreal, but beautiful. If Rod Serling were to write a cowboy movie, this is it. The ending image is shocking. The plot is simple. The characters are not.
The title is perfect. A chase movie where the runner wants to be caught. This movie needs to be paid close attention as the subtlety of the underlying drama and the deepness of silent desperation are easily lost. Ride Lonesome is the Twilight Zone of Westerns.
