      Audience Member Nothing great here but still worth a watch James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, June 11, 2023 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow moving Western with credible cast has a trapper matching wits with an Indian over a white stallion. A couple other subplots only serve to divert attention rather than pique your interest. The Western was dying a slow death at this point, this one was unable to revive interest despite some sprawling cinematography. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A taciturn and vaguely mystical drama with a cast that looks desperately out of place and whose occasional dialogue is as oppressive as is its more common silence? Or a weirdly hypnotic Western made by a British director who has a quirkishly funny vision of how the genre might be realized -- as a sort of Medieval quest attended by its own peculiar rituals and chivalries between the white man and the Indian that ultimately spirals into a lamentation of lost illusions? Probably a little of both... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A Look at Stars in there Early Days. Martin Sheen has very young and trapper who comes across a great Native American's White Horse at his burial site, he takes the horse that was left to die along with the great chief and his squaw. Mean while another Chief played by no other then Sam Waterston has his eyes on the horse, Sheen will stop at nothing for this horse, he even passes up a beautiful women. Its not Spaghetti, but just a western. Made for a eye opening look at early Sheen. The only bad thing about the movie was the ending, and off into the sunset he rode. I'd watch it again in the future, distant future, But I will give it 3 stars, Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This western certainly has a different feel to it, although this by no means makes it greater. The personal battle between Sheen and Waterston is fairly interesting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member It was really...really bad.

      Tom Milne Sight & Sound With the aid of superb camerawork by Billy Williams, [director Anthony] Harvey tells his tale in glorious images, sometimes traditionally Western, occasionally Gothic, often elegantly witty. Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
