With heartening family drama and adrenaline-pumping action, Lone Rider is a western with guts, glory, and a powerful message. Bob Hattaway, an honored soldier, returns to his Western hometown to discover that corrupt landowner Stu Croaker has become the most powerful man in the county. What Stu wants next is the Hattaway family business. And normally, what he wants, he gets. But when his strong-arm tactics turn deadly, Bob fights back with a vengeance. This is the West and it s going to get wild. Featuring an all-star cast including Lou Diamond Phillips, Vincent Spano, and Stacy Keach. Written by Anonymous
Lou Diamond Phillips returns from the Civil War to find his childhood friend Vincent Spano cheating homesteaders of their money, property, and sometimes their lives as well. Things heat up when Phillips helps his father Stacy Keach out of Spano's crooked scheme, a scheme that demands Keach's homestead.
Lone Rider is fairly derivative, though well produced, with good photography and direction. I can't help but like it, though I wish the straight-forward script were both more complex and lively.
As far as the players go, Phillips and Keach are always entertaining, whatever they're in, while Spano makes a good villain, even though we never find out exactly what makes his character tick.
Tom Schanley, who plays Phillips' Army buddy, stands out among the supporting players. Although I don't know him as an actor, he's pretty good.
The title of Lone Rider is a misnomer, as Phillips doesn't do much riding and has plenty of help throughout the movie.
