The Columbia Guide to Standard American English
horse opera, oater (nn.)
are terms for Westerns, the romances—novels, plays, and movies—about cowboys and rustlers and the American West of the late nineteenth century.
Horse opera, like soap opera, is now Standard in all but the most Oratorical and Formal contexts;
oater remains slang and appears to be fading.
At 135 minutes, "The Missing" is way too long. This is basically a B Western jumped up out of its category.
As a lean little oater,
this story could have held down half of a double bill
back when Westerns were popular, but these days audiences need a reason to see a Western.
