I actually really liked this , good film. It was made over 110 years ago and was the first western movie and really one of the first movies with action in it.

I watched this because parts of it are in the opening narration of Tombstone and GoodFellas was inspired by it. Influential and ahead of its time for sure.

Great movie. This seems like the first "action" movie ever made if I'm getting that right.
