Dick Lowry directed Last Stand at Saber River, which Ronald M. Cohen adapted from Elmore Leonard’s novel. The film features Tom Selleck, Suzy Amis, Tracey Needham, Keith Carradine, David Carradine, Haley Joel Osment, and Rachel Duncan. David Shire composed the music, and Ric Waite was in charge of cinematography. "Texas 1865. The war between the States continues to rage. Texas remains deeply committed to the Confederate cause." This well-presented Western set near the end of the Civil War is somewhat hampered by a sense of familiarity. Selleck portrays Paul Cable, who returns from fighting for the Confederacy only to discover his family believes him deceased and that Union men have taken over his homestead. A conflict develops between Cable and the Kidston family, while Cable and his wife Martha (Amis) attempt to rekindle their affection amidst uncertainty and resentment. The usual elements of a Western appear and disappear throughout the story, culminating in an ending reliant on an unexpected shift in characters. There’s something amiss in this valley; even though the war is over, the violence doesn't cease. The characters are well-developed, and the script facilitates some mature discussions and themes emerging within the narrative. The New Mexico scenery looks good through Waite’s camera work, with colors that remain understated and maintain a sense of realism. Selleck does his best to hold the film together; he embodies the role convincingly and demonstrates considerable acting ability through his expressions and posture. The rest of the cast performs adequately for a television Western, although Amis particularly shines in her depiction of strength and emotional distress without resorting to melodrama. It’s an enjoyable and dependable diversion for those who appreciate Selleck or TV Westerns, but it doesn't leave much of a lasting impression after the expected conclusion. 6/10
