The Trackers

This made for TV western is a magnificent portrayal of a change of heart In a man when he has to trust someone he doesn't like and has the eyes of his understanding opened. The film does very well at this but of course made for TV movies usually leave a lot to be desired so you'll need to close your critical eyes if you are going to enjoy his one. The performances by Sammy Davis Jr and Earnest Borgnine are of high quality and the rest of the cast did very well. It appears there is an tendency in this movie to overplay the racism card and the writers could have elevated their game by being more subtle about it but they do get their point across. The music is good and not distracting. The cinematography is done well but what is hard to ignore is the poor screen play. I guess that is what you get on low budget films that are time limited. This is well worth watching for the performances of the stars and highly recommended for the whole family.
