Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Flat and Uninteresting a/k/a "Boring"
Although there are a lot of familiar "television" names associated with "A Man Called Sledge", there is nothing extraordinary about the film itself or about any of the performances.

Very pessimistic ending. An excellent musical score( as is typical with spaghetti westerns although it isn't Ennio Morricone). ... Read More
Rating: - This is the best western I have ever seen
For some reason, this movie sticks with me. I think maybe it has to do with the feelings certain characters have about their situation: bravery in the face of horror, desperation and traitorism (more of an action that a feeling, but you get my point. It was a very good movie for western fans. James Garner doesn't disappoint.
