Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

bkoganbing Blazing Justice finds Bill Cody, not Buffalo Bill mind you, but B. cowboy star Bill Cody capturing a gang of outlaws and getting a sizable reward for capturing a gang of outlaws. But the one that got away who wears a black outfit like Hopalong Cassidy the same as our hero's later robs and attempts to murder a local rancher and Cody gets blamed.Of course Cody is resourceful and finds a way to clear himself and get the bad guy and win the rancher's daughter, Gertrude Messinger.It's a really bad scheme I think, a story is put out that the rancher was heavily insured and the daughter will get the benefit in cash at the funeral. Now why seventeen other outlaws might not think to rob her as well during her mourning is something the film does not answer nor even try.Blazing Justice has the look and feel of a film slapped together in a week and shot in even less time.

KDWms I always like to be polite, even when panning something. With that in mind, let's say that this isn't awful, although it's just a notch above. The characters are extremely stiff and unnatural - an example of a 30s western at it's least believable. So the acting and writing each deserve blame for this effort. Ray begins the movie by getting some reward money, with which he heads on vacation. His path crosses with a bandit, fleeing from having robbed old Bob, packed with money enroute to paying off his mortgage. The thief is able to switch horses with - thereby incriminating - Ray, although he eventually convinces the sheriff of his innocence. The greedy criminal's interest is renewed by the prospect of payment of cash life insurance proceeds as part of Bob's fake funeral. And - oh yeah - Bob's daughter, Virginia, provides a romantic target for Ray. The premise is interesting enough. But the execution is terribly contrived.
