User Reviews

Boring, unexciting story

Well, I must admit that I comment it only because it has not been made before. The tale of a young man in prison, waiting in death row, for a murder he has not committed. Guess what follows...

Boring, expectable, I hardly waited the end of this episode, probably the worst of the all show. A car chase so painfully slow that you have the feeling it is here only to fill up the episode length. I far prefer the ones with the real western side, as it is suggested in the opening credits. A story with plenty of action, suspense and delightful villains.

Directed by David Lowell Rich, a TV vet director who gave us plenty episodes and movies. A rather good director, although the perfect yes man.
