Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine Henry Fonda as a graceful, sardonic and thoroughly efficient free-lance "town tamer" and Anthony Quinn as his devoted but sinister side-kick are the most interesting characters in this solid "adult western." Oct 28, 2019 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The dense storyline doesn't always pan out as expected in this top-flight Western. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 10, 2019 Full Review Nathanael Hood Nate Hood Reviews ...stretches to two hours but feels at least twice as long. Rated: 5/10 Feb 12, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Arguably the best film made by Edward Dmytryk. Rated: A Oct 17, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Nick F Warlock is an outstanding Western with a stellar cast starring Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn as town-taming hired guns keeping the peace in the small Utah town of Warlock.Their harsh methods bring them into conflict with town sheriff Richard Widmark and as tension rises, all the lead characters have personal issues which come to the surface. The brooding atmosphere, tight script and adroit directing from Edward Dmytryk combine to deliver a fine Western which holds attention throughout and provides a gripping and unpredictable finale. Fonda, Quinn, and especially Widmark are riveting and set the foundation for a truly outstanding Western that stays long in the memory. Reviewed by NICK FLETCHER Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Rosana B Bem gostosinho de assistir, embora mais lento do que deveria, um roteiro amarradinho e cativante, boas cenas de bang-bangs, engraçado com todas as desavenças, até mesmo as pequenas são resolvidas num duelo, principalmente dor de cotovelo masculina, uma cidade sem crianças e mulheres, comuns aos faroestes… O desfecho tão incongruente que se torna adorável... O Cowboy mata o fiel escudeiro para ficar com a mocinha, e larga a mocinha para procurar um novo escudeiro, doentio… Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Narciso R I love friendship movies, single, doing what ever you please. Added attraction use both sides of the law, to accomplish their goal. NRJ. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Cinephemeride a good script, a prestigious cast, a great director and yet the film struggles to find its rhythm, excessively slow at the start before gaining momentum a little without ever managing to completely carry us away. Damage Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Theodore G Excellent cast, outstanding dialog . A very good old school western Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Really good one right here you need to watch it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas June 21, 2023 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
