Canada Movie Reviews of The TrackerMovie Review: Surprisingly Good Kris Kristofferson
I'm a fan of good westerns. This is a good one. Kris Kristofferson plays a retired Tracker (Noble Adams) who is coaxed out of retirement by his friend Marshall Crawford (played by David Huddleston) to track Jack Stillwell and his 'gang' of 4 who broke out of Yuma prison and went on a killing spree. The movie explores not only how bad some men in the west can be, but show's how they sometimes got that way. Noble's son Tom (Mark Moses) has just returned home from his Eastern college. Tom's Mother (Noble's first wife) died when Tom as a child, and now Noble has remarried and is living and ranching in an isolated area of New Mexico. The Tracker does a great job building characters from conversations and actions as the movie progresses and that's really one of the things I liked most about this movie. By the time the movie is over, you feel like you really know Noble, his son Tom, and Jack Stillwell because they reveal who and what they are by actions and conversation, not by flashbacks or narrations. This may well be one of the best Kris Kristofferson movies he ever made. The script is tight, the action and acting very well done and the story is more than good guys fighting bad guys. Noble Adams character is both hard and gentle, brash and caring, bold and humble and Kristofferson pulls it off beautifully. Supporting cast for the most part do and excellent job. The Tracker is one movie I enjoy watching over and over. |
