Reviews

adonis98-743-186503 In this prequel to "Lonesome Dove", two young men join the Texas Rangers unit that's on a mission to annex Santa Fe. Although i felt that both David Arquette as Augustus McCrae and Jonny Lee Miller as Woodrow F. Call brought nothing to the plot and were kinda forgettable and uninteresting this Mini-TV Series packed great performances by Keith Carradine, Harry Dean Stanton and Edward James Olmos. It also stayed true to this old westerns and Cowboys v.s Indians which was something that reminded me a lot of my childhood i think that Episodes 1 and 3 had the most impact on me they were very interesting because Episode 2 kinda drugged many times but other than that pretty good series and people who like this sort of types of films or shows or even grew up with westerns won't be disappointed (7.5/10)

slska20 I just spent 5 hours of my life watching total crap. The story was boring, the acting sucked, and the ending was terrible. The only thing good about this movie is that it was a Western, and had characters named Woodrow Call, Gus McCrae, and Clara Allen. Well, having Jennifer Garner in the cast didn't hurt, but we only see her for about 10 minutes. Outside of that, it does nothing to tell a back-story or anything.I rented this because I'm a huge Lonesome Dove fan and thought that while I'm sure it wouldn't measure up to the original, that it would be worth my time. I was VERY wrong.

Ralpho The author of the book "Dead Man's Walk" also wrote the screenplay for this film, which is obvious when one sees how closely the film adheres to the book. Although I have read the book in question, it didn't curtail my enjoyment of the movie. One notices how closely the young actors portraying Gus McRae and Woodrow Call (David Arquette and Johny Lee Miller) resemble older versions of the same characters as actualized by Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. My guess is that making that resemblance a fact was of paramount importance to the filmmakers, as the primary audience for "Dead Man's Walk" has already seen "Lonesome Dove" and would be disappointed if Arquette's performance didn't recall Duvall's and Miller's work wasn't reminiscent of Jones'.Although it may have been primarily a marketing decision, the strong resemblance between young and old Gus and Call works for me and, oddly enough, binds the two miniseries together.May we now see a miniseries based on McMurtry's second prequel, "Comanche Moon"?

dinky-4 Larry McMurtry seems to be turning "Lonesome Dove" into a cottage industry, but this "prequel" works fairly well on its own terms. It's mounted in good-looking style and has a first-rate whipping scene wherein Jonny Lee Miller, stripped to the waist, is tied to the back of a wagon and given 100 lashes, the first 50 by one man and the second 50 by another. When that first lash hits Miller's bare back, you not only see it and hear it -- you FEEL it!
