The Virginian (2014 Video)
5/10
Choppy Plot
19 February 2022
I have heard more than a few comments on the quality of Trace Adkin's acting; I'm not sure what folks are expecting from a shoot 'em up western. I thought Trace fit the expected archetype of the western hero. It's for sure not Oscar worthy but it is on par with most action westerns.

I have never read the source material for this movie. I expect the movie took some liberty with the story. The plot does not flow very smoothly and left me with a lot of questions. It's not very clear what Trace's and the writer's job is or why he is constantly riding around the country. They mention off-handedly about doing some ranch work but generally, it seems they just like to ride around and camp.

It feels like a chunk of the story is missing. It never builds any motivation or emotion for the characters. Backstory is never really established.

I recommend this movie if your a Trace fan or a little bored and want something you don't have to pay much attention to.
