Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member this isn't the newer version, which isn't offered here. my rating is for the newer Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Haven't seen this older version, but I love the 1996 version with Ed Harris and Amy Madigan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member an old great western. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I seen this so long ago I would see it again.
