Stewart does a decent job here shedding the "aw shucks" mannerisms and playing a slightly darker hero than usual. But it's an odd movie: ostensibly about the episodic travels of the titular gun, it sort of grafts on the overarching conflict between McAdam and Waco Johnnie Dean and their longstanding history (and then really grafts on a superfluous love story with Shelley Winters.) It feels weird because it's unclear what the movie wants itself to be, but each individual element works fine.
