THE BALLAD OF LEFTY BROWN: 2017 (Prime rental) A merciless cowboy (Bill Pullman) sets out on a dangerous journey across the frontier, determined to do whatever it takes to avenge his longtime partner's brutal murder. .The film’s plot kicks in with the cold-blooded murder of Lefty’s longtime confidante, Edward Johnson (Peter Fonda), a Montana lawman who ostensibly built his legend on the right side of justice. The killing sends a ripple of grief throughout the small community he worked in, which is nowhere more apparent than on the face of the great Kathy Baker, who stars as Edward’s widow, Laura.  Neither Lefty nor Laura’s instincts are very sharp regarding the murderous culprit, making the plot something of a slow, plodding spin around the drain. While Lefty, alcoholic sidekick Tom (Tommy Flanagan), and eager upstart Jeremiah (Diego Josef) start scouring the plains for clues about their friend’s death, All is right by the last frame, The bad guys are hung and  good  guys ride off  in this old-fashioned movie. Gary says he cannot go higher than C+ on this one, but I say B. GRADE B/C+
