      acsdoug D A decent 50s era Western. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Andrew Y Superb at every level. Clever, thought provoking and utterly engrossing. Brilliant story, acting and atmosphere. Hard to fault in any way………. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Steve D Frustrating and predictable. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Elvis D Un western con un protagonista bastante interesante que le da fluidez a la trama. Gregory Peck presenta un espectacular personaje cuya leyenda como pistolero que impidió que tuviera una vida familiar o como hombre común son un factor importante en el argumento. La película presenta al forajido como una persona común y corriente, pero que su reputación se ha convertido en una terrible carga para él. No es una película llena de disparos o duelos, pero tiene un muy buen concepto de lo que es ser un forajido y las consecuencias que trae consigo. Cabe mencionar que Roger Corman estuvo involucrado en parte del guion, aunque nunca le dieron el crédito. Mi calificación para esta película es un 8/10. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Blobbo X Decent, watchable and iconic...set the groundwork for many pictures to come. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the better ones I’ve seen right here thank you’ll like it James Welch, Harrison, Arkansas June 7, 2023 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Kevin Maher Times (UK) It's expertly assembled classic western fodder, and the template for every elegiac "retired killer" movie to come - from Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven to Hugh Jackman in Logan. Rated: 5/5 May 24, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Good movie about the consequences of our choices. Rated: 5/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: A Mar 21, 2004 Full Review Dilys Powell Sunday Times (UK) I won’t say the film is uninteresting. But the tension of waiting for a foreseen climax is not what it should be -- partly because Gregory Peck arouses no very profound sympathy for the central character. Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Brian Susbielles InSession Film It’s a Western noir, a mix of two genres that came in the 1950s and steered away from the heroic side of cowboys and lawmen. Mar 1, 2023 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia Henry King's film takes the popular motif of the sharp-shooter and examines the consequences of their life choices.
