REVIEW
MacDowell, Barrymore and Masterson save fellow honky tonk harlot Stowe from the hangman's noose. The four newly minted outlaws hit the road, with hired Pinkerton detectives on their trail. This revisionist, feminist western, combining elements of Young Guns with The Ballad of Little Jo, is actually better than the bullets and bustiers, girls-with-guns expectations it generates. Although certainly not perfect, with an often meandering script and many hackneyed contrivances, it's hard not to appreciate women who shoot to kill when sufficiently provoked. Also appreciated is one particularly memorable line: "If your laws don't include me, then they just don't apply to me, either." Amen, sister. Editor's Suggestions
