*** Spoilers Ahead Maybe*** I loved how Showdown started off with the way Dean Martin robbed the train by posing as a sheriff & getting the passengers to give up their guns & valuables.I think it was very interesting & inventive.It was the 1st time I've seen it done in a Western & if it's been done before, I know nothing about it.I also liked the flashbacks that were shown throughout the movie.It gave off that buddy vibe & made you feel more for the characters.I enjoyed Showdown up until Dean Martin's character turned back during the pursuit to return to the ranch.This is where the movie fell off for me & I expected it to be all downhill from there.I just could not get into the ranch scene.Surprisingly after that, the movie picked up for me again & I was back into it.The end scene was a bit of a surprise & shocking but I think it was well done.I didn't know this was a Made For TV movie until I read it on imdb.For a Made For TV movie, Showdown was pretty good & worth watching.In my opinion, it's most definitely worth watching at least once
