Synopsis

The made-for-cable Western The Outsider would seem to have its roots in the classic John Wayne theatrical feature Angel and the Badman. In the Montana of the late 19th century, wounded outlaw Johnny Gault (Tim Daly) is given refuge by widowed sheep farmer Rebecca Yoder (Naomi Watts). This puts Rebecca on the outs with her own people, a pacifist Quaker sect, and also incurs the wrath of a ruthless cattle baron, who has long coveted the Quakers' land--and who also was responsible for the death of Rebecca's husband. Not surprisingly, Johnny Gault turns out to be the traditional "good bad man", capable of solving everyone's problems--except, perhaps, his own. The Outsider first aired over the Showtime cable network on November 10, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

I loved this movie. I rented it, watched it, bought it the next day. I think its a great love story... without the mushiness. Tim Daly plays a shootist dressed in black. While recovering from injuries he falls for Naomi Watts who taking care of him. You kinda see it coming but its cool anyway. She gives up her "amish" life to be with him. I can't describe this movie, all I know is I loved it.
