Every Western fan knows: If Louis L’Amour wrote the story, it’s worth watching. In Crossfire Trail, Selleck delivers a strong, understated performance in a tale that pairs him with Virginia Madsen, and the chemistry between the two lights up the screen. The film has everything you want in a classic Western—honor, loyalty and a climactic shootout worth its weight in lead. It’s one of Selleck’s finest performances, drawing favorable comparisons to the Western classic Shane.
