dave t Only in cowboy movies of the 50s does a posse strike out after a bsd guy and literally no one in the posse carries a rifle. They all disembark with 6 shooter in hand to get the bsd guy......ahhhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/30/22 Full Review Audience Member another well crafted "psychological western" like say 'the naked spur" or "johnny guitar" Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 141129: "...or give your guns to the women." - great line, could've been the title. If it hadn't been for Brian Keith (Clett), I would've rated this movie lower. Cleat was bad ass, almost as bad ass as the Henry rifles he carried. Found Walker just a bit to stiff and stoic, ha, that could've been another title. Enjoyable movie nonetheless. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Not always like black & white movie. But I LOVED it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a inferior cone of a very similar movie John Wayne made in 1953. "Hondo" Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
