the keeper is all right. a low budget straight to video action film, it keeps things simple. structurally it’s a little wacky, with a dull first act that almost serves as a mini - movie unrelated to the rest of the film. the keeper benefits from having plenty of action, even if it is more a display of seagal’s legendary skills as a marksman than a celebration of his face - flattening fist fighting abilities. an unremarkable film that does the job, this one’s worth checking out when you next stumble across it on tv .

the dramatic storyline and characterizations are skillfully brought to life in this compelling dramatization which provides an authoritative history of the events which led to the death of john henry tunstall, 134 years ago which sparked the legend we now know as billy the kid. you see the the santa fe ring plotting death as casually as smoking a cigar; john chisum staring death in the face as he tells a young newspaper man how it all began, the englishman, john tunstall riding unwittingly to his sudden brutal death on a lonely mountainside and billy the kid, standing at his friend s graveside, vowing to hunt down and kill the men who murdered him .
