"Each chapter has a thesis explored at length, with analysis of selected films. The selection of film analyzed is well chosen with celebrated classics as well as the offbeat." (Journal of Film and Video, Fall 2009)

"McGee has written a rich, ambitious book. ... McGee's readings are richly informed by the work of his predecessors, and they are invariably thoughtful, bold, and challenging. Probably every reader who has seen the films discussed will find things to quarrel with, but almost certainly every reader will also find McGee's arguments a powerful inducement to give these films another careful look. Summing Up: Highly recommended." -- CHOICE, September 2007

"McGee is an astute observer of United States culture who offers trenchant discussion of the Western genre. He chooses his films strategically and reveals their textual strategies and historical meanings." Stan Corkin, University of Cincinnati
