Something to fear

Gunpoint! (1955)

Alfred Weker directs Fred MacMurray in this western. When the local store owner shoots a member of a gang during a bank robbery the gang swear revenge.

There is a kernel of a decent idea for a film here but it was already made as High Noon (1952), this is a a version that is barely worth the comparison. Nearly everything in this film is of a low standard from the acting, cinematography to the dialogue which leaves very little room for praise. About the only thing I liked about the film was it's short run time but even then it managed to feel slow.

2/5 just watch High Noon instead.
