CodyZamboni Z @CodyZamboni 02/17/2025 Fun, fast paced, campy, high energy Western action adventure, Has elements that recall the best Indiana Jones movies, Loads of famous stars in supporting roles, Peck is commanding as the lead, Almost matched by the hammy Omar Shariff, Thrilling action set pieces, and stunning Monument Valley vistas, Making good use of Panavision wide screen, Thunderous sound fx of gunfire and horse hooves echoing off canyon walls, See more Alex N @RT51862943 09/20/2024 The rating on this movie confirms that I should ignore the critics' reviews but trust the audience's rating. See more Kev T @RT17117008 08/12/2024 Loved this movie, l remember watching it in my PJ's at the drive-in back in 1970. I bought it on dvd when it came out. I dont get modern film critics blasting a film that was made generations before their birth. It had mystique, drama, romance, adventure, a femme fatale, everything including a Spielberg-esque ride for survival scene at the end. See more John H @RT74503680 12/29/2023 For having such a great cast the movie is terrible, bad acting, slow, boring, See more SICKS6SIX S @sicks6six 12/12/2023 Omar Sharife as a western bad boy, WTF, Not Peck's greatest movie but it isn't his fault, that's the director's fault for allowing the green screenshots to be in the final edit, they are so bad they look like comedy green screen shots of spacemen riding space scooters through cartoon land, they devalue the film and to be honest are so bad they might be the best thing in the film, worth watching just to see the really stupid looks on the faces of the actors as they pretend to ride horses when they're sitting on bar stools, this film is the worst western film since the Marx brothers went west or Laurel & hardy rode the trail of the lonesome pine, its terrible, I score this film 25% but only that high for the green screen shots which I recommend every watch and anyone making a film see so they know why green screens are not a good idea, not even with today's screens they all look fake, because they are, See more Ahmed E @RT97568974 09/19/2023 Although viewed well after it's release date, I was most disappointed. Top star cast only to decieve. Predictable story line. Staid acting. Only saving grace was Feliciano nostalgia. See more Read all reviews
