The
woman is a bit vague about her
intentions and doesn't even give
her name. Will is
suspicious but Coley is easily
led and trusting and prepared to
take her at face value. On
the way it becomes clear they
are being followed and before
long a hired gunman called Billy
Shear (Nicholson) joins their
party and it transpires he is
also on the woman's payroll to
be her minder and his presence
causes friction in the party as
they make their slow relentless
journey to their destination.
Most
of the film is a serviceable
enough western although not by
any means a classic. Jack
Nicholson shines in his role as
the arrogant fast-draw
sharpshooter and there is
genuine intrigue about just what
the woman's plans are and why
she needs to get to Kingsley.
