A look at the end of the cowboy reign, Monte Walsh sees Selleck in one of his most introspective roles. The film isn’t all about shootouts or standoffs, but the slow death of a cherished way of life, and Selleck’s portrayal of a cowboy trying to hang on as the West disappears around him is heart-wrenching and masterful. This adaptation of a Jack Schaefer novel allowed Selleck to show his full range of talents, delivering a performance that honors the fading days of the Wild West era.
