Terry Staunton Radio Times George Archainbaud examines moral conundrums typical of the genre, but the narrative does little to expand on the template, with more focus on the usual interludes of chair-breaking bar brawls and dancing saloon girls that tend to overstay their welcome. Rated: 2/5 Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Routine Western uplifted by the lively direction of George Archainbaud. Rated: B Feb 15, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member another lost review! FU flixter! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Overall a decent film. It's an uneasy mixture of almost every genre - Comedy, Western, Drama, Action, Romance, Musical. It t tries to tackle too much in it's short length. It was nominated for an Oscar for best score. No clue as to why, the score was hardly good. Very much a "B" movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
