Review of China 9 Liberty 37

This is a great movie that no true Western fan should miss. The plot revolves around a retired gunfighter who is now mining gold. When he refuses to sell his land to the railroad problems arise. A condemned gunman is given a last minute reprieve on one condition-he must murder the rancher/gold miner for the railway company. After he is released and visits the ranch he finds he can’t make himself commit the murder when he strikes up a strange friendship with his would-be target. Meanwhile, the rancher’s wife has come on to the rancher. When the gunman leaves; she mistakenly thinks she has killed her husband in an argument and joins the gunman. What they don’t know is that the rancher is still alive and fit to be tied. In a strange turn of events he partners with the very men who sought to have him killed in an effort to hunt down the rancher’s wife and gunman.

One of the most memorable quotes in the film is delivered by the rancher, Matthew Sebanek, “There ain’t no soft-hearted gunfighters.”

Warren Oates does an excellent job in the portrayal of his character, taking you right along with the struggle he faces throughout the film. This is an action packed film that has been very well staged. You will be sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for the big final showdown scene-which doesn’t disappoint in the least. A twist in the story’s resolution catches you totally by surprise, making this a very satisfying film.
