      Bosley Crowther New York Times This so-called outdoor action picture very quickly and wearily settles down to trickling along in the old bed of cowboy-and-Indian films. Rated: 2/5 Aug 4, 2007 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Tells an inaccurate story of the building of the Canadian Pacific railroad.
