07/25/2014 A perfect film for Tom Mix that he was able to deliver in spades. A famous western story of unknown man on the search of Outlaw's who kidnapped a woman & child. Tom Mix although rather cliche had a presence on screen although tacky he still commanded the screen. This has some great action & beautiful scenery of the old west. I found the film was strong & engaging, it's was nice to see it tinted also. See more 08/08/2007 this isn't the newer version, which isn't offered here. my rating is for the newer See more 07/23/2007 Haven't seen this older version, but I love the 1996 version with Ed Harris and Amy Madigan. See more 05/12/2007 an old great western. See more 05/04/2007 I seen this so long ago I would see it again. See more 12/10/2006 Extremely boring. Do not bother watching, absolute waste of time.
