Pot shots

The Fighting Lawman (1953)

Directed by Thomas Carr this western stars Wayne Morris, Virginia Grey and John Kellogg. A US Marshal hunts down three bank robbers that are living under new identities.

This is one of your standard b-movie westerns which has a fairly simple plot and while it does nothing well it does little wrong either. About the only highlight is that the female character is far more proactive than most in the genre but otherwise there is nothing unusual here. The execution of the film is not too bad although the action sequences do tend towards being a little silly/unbelievable at times.

3/5
