Only the Cowboy Thinks It's Still a Western - Lonely Are the Brave review by griggs
A cowboy, a highway and a helicopter walk into 1960s America. Only the cowboy thinks it’s still a Western.
Kirk Douglas plays Jack Burns as charming, pig-headed and faintly selfish, but there’s something noirish in the fatalism. He’s a man whose idea of freedom has already become obsolete. Gena Rowlands packs his food and watches him ride off while she gets stuck with the consequences. Walter Matthau’s sheriff seems to be rooting for the other side.
The message arrives by helicopter, so nobody misses it. Still, it lands.
Turns out the last frontier came with traffic.
