Western Union (1941)
6/10
Just a average mainstream movie aimed to be popular

Fair to say I didn't like it much as some other people. It was just too common. This was all things you have seen before and not done too well either. It's the classic nice guys walk around jolly and laugh at a lot with some silly humor thrown in here and there and a bit of shooting and of course the obligatory ending you knew from the start.

Very poor and stagy acting. Rather common for a lot of 30's and 40's films but still. The plot jumps all around and there's next to no build up. Something is thrown out, then it's resolved or forgotten. Also all these characters have been in so many films before and after that it's rather sad.

It had a few good scenes though, love the magic wire scene with the Indians. Some of the "oh so cute, lol" scenes are enjoyable of course and of course Lang isn't a bad director so he did manage to pull it together, BUT this is by far his worst film IMO. from me.
