Director Richard Gray’s well-crafted and handsomely mounted indie is as much a solidly constructed mystery as it is it a conventionally satisfying oater, with much to recommend to fans of either genre who rarely get to sample such a mix.

With a sprawling cast of familiar faces, Murder at Yellowstone City reveals itself as character-driven from the start.

The camera movement is clumsy, but there are many very good things in the film, such as the flow of life and the characters who are like the style. The script is good and the movie imitates the great western movies correctly. The mezzanines are also correct. And the suspense of the film is unique

Too long and too slow. The pacing was certainly deliberate, but even with the good performances, the film has no build or direction to make you immerse yourself in its story, or really show genuine interest in its main characters. It's well made, yes. But it's also completely lifeless.

The results aren’t great. The picture’s predictable except when it’s at its most illogical, and the pacing is slow-footed when it needed to canter. But hell, you throw Thomas Jane, Gabriel Byrne, Scottie Thompson, Anna Camp and Oscar winner Richard Dreyfuss against a saloon wall, you’re going to hit something.

The performances solidly do the job of moving things along, but as game, as they are, Belgau’s screenplay offers the actors few options to work around its creaky dialogue.

The disappointing western-mystery hybrid Murder at Yellowstone City strands an excellent cast in a slow-paced story with a muted tone, too far removed from its pulpy inspirations.

Much like the behavior of Sheriff Ambrose as he investigates the murders occurring around him, the story is best served as something to be glanced at rather than examined too closely. If you stare too long at fool’s gold, it loses its fleeting appeal.

The movie has a strong premise and cast, but falls flat on it's face in the final act with telepathic characters and nonsensical motives. Still, if you enjoy a mindless shooty-shoot film in a western setting, you'll enjoy it.
