About This Movie

The Bounty Man is a gritty TV western from 1972 that really nails that dusty, rough vibe of the era. John Llewellyn Moxey directs with a steady hand, bringing to life the relentless pursuit of Kinkaid, a bounty hunter who’s got his sights set on the outlaw Billy Riddle. The pacing is deliberate, building tension as they traverse the landscape, but it feels authentic, never rushed. The performances have a raw quality, particularly the interplay between Kinkaid and Riddle—it’s not just a chase, it’s about moral choices and survival. Plus, those practical effects and set pieces transport you back to a rougher time, and the threat posed by Angus Keough's gang adds a layer of danger that lingers throughout.

Features a compelling lead performance by the actor portraying Kinkaid.Captures the essence of early '70s TV westerns with its unique atmosphere.The tension between characters adds depth to the familiar bounty hunter trope.
