Will K Good story. Had me guessing who was the inside bad guy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Audience Member Hybrid Western/detective story.... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Durable western star and real-life WWII hero Audie Murphy plays a frontier detective tasked with stopping a clever gang of bank robbers. What makes these robbers more clever than most is their M.O. is to bust a random criminal out of jail, start robbing banks with them, and then shoots said criminal in back to collect the reward. One of these devious criminals shooting other unsuspecting criminals in the back is Star Trek's DeForest Kelley, which adds some entertainment value to the film, but overall, this is a pretty dull western that's made even worse by what is probably among the worst film narration you'll ever hear, a majority of which seems to simply describe what was happening on screen. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A good B western with a good cast and Audie Murphy.nice horses to. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A familiar looking vehicle for Audie Murphy as he stands out against a a B-list supporting cast. The narrative voice-over takes away from the agent undercover storyline which pleases by lower-budget western standards. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
