Tom Selleck plays Matthew Quigley, the cowboy hero in this traditional Western, set very untraditionally in Australia. After some macho silliness in the opening minutes, the story settles into a surprisingly evocative tale of Quigley, a sharpshooter who had come to the country to work for a land baron (Alan Rickman) and who is on the mend after a brutal attack. In the company of a woman (Laura San Giacomo) abused by that same baron, Quigley gets his strength and his shooting skills back while healing in the midst of aboriginal people as well as some stunning Australian settings. Director Simon Wincer (Phar Lap) brings a lot of integrity to this rare horse opera from contemporary Hollywood. --Tom Keogh

Tom Selleck has always been a favorite of mine from the old Magnum P.I. days. He turns in a good performance in this film as a post Wild Wild West gunslinger with a conscience. While the early settlers of Australia did mistreat the aborigines, it is a bit of a stretch to think that someone would go so far as to hire some one to eradicate them. That aside the preformance of all the leading people was good. I liked it.

Western with a twist

Just the best
Selleck should only play cowboys. Allen Rickemen was also the very best at being very bad.

A frontier remote yet familiar
I first saw this on premium cable and had to own a copy. The movie's portrayal of the versatility of the single-shot cartridge rifle was very welcome. Read more

A Classic Western
This movie is as close as they come to the westerns we all grew up with. Selleck is the closest thing to John Wayne and Gary Cooper and one of the few actors today who can still... Read more

DOWN UNDER AND OVER THE TOP.
WHEN THIS ONE CAME ALONG IN LATE 1990, WESTERN FANS WERE IN A DROUGHT. 'DANCES WITH DOGS' WAS HARDLY A RIGHTEOUS COWBOY FLICK, BUT "QUIGLEY" WAS AN EXCEPTION. Read more
