Gritty but routine western. Despicable bad guys one expects in pulp westerns. Revenge, treasure maps to gold, and ruthless Apaches. I must say that Cuno is made of tougher stuff than today's heroes, might be age, but still a durable gunslinger nonetheless.
Makes one ponder how cowboys/ gunslingers became so glamorized on the big screen. The old west was unforgiving with little expectations of success.
So, this story was ok, but definitely was a bit explicit for my enjoyment. By reading the back, I knew what was going to happen to the wife, but am not sure why western's have to have this concept. Oh well. We'll see where the series goes.
