Review of Lawman

Lawman (1971)
2/10
Ending makes no sense

Warning: Spoilers
Would have been more stars for a good movie and performances. Burt Lancaster's character lived by rules, "I never drew on a man", following the law. Toward the end he says to Robert Ryan's character that he was leaving letting everyone go, then making no sense in the street he shoots one who ran, in the back! Why did he do that? Out of character! The other part that was not realistic, yes Lee J. Cobbs son was dead but to shoot himself totally out of character. I would have expected it to end with Lee J. Cobb drawing his gun and pointing it at Burt, forcing him to shoot him as well. Then he would ride out. Also riding out right next to the women he knew was weird.
