kevin o ...violent western has Chuck after daughters kidnappers. Always felt on the verge of being a much better film. Still it fills the time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 140105: This is a very entertaining, but harsh, movie. Amazing actors and acting. All are a force but especially Hershey, Coburn, Wilcox, Quade and, shit, on and on and on. Great cinematography. Great locations. Don't think I'd ever seen it before, as in my youth. Can't believe I have missed out for nearly forty years. The slow motion to a rape scene, as well as James Coburn's evil nature, are hard to take. Actually, there are many scenes of extreme violence. Even by today's standards I found this film a bit nasty. Really enjoyed the finale. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Kvalitetswestern av beste merke! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Good western! Ya gotta be tough if you wanna be an outlaw! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Revenge Western, Mostly Routine--Detached...Diluted...Disappointing...Deja-Vu!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Fairly average western from the 70s with strong performances by James Coburn, and Charlton Heston, good enough supporting cast. Good entertainment, but not great. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
