Richard G. R I liked this western a lot. I've always liked Robert Ryan westerns and film noirs. Basic story, likable cast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review William L More compelling than your average Western of the period, with confused loyalties and Ryan as a marshal who upsets the crisp, beloved image of the stereotypical sheriff with his "trigger-happy" reputation (even if it is always shown to be false), but still slips into plenty of tired plot points and clichés. The antagonists are relatively generic and the performances aren't necessarily stellar, not destined to become a classic by anyone's standards. (2.5/5) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/20 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyable western, nothing more. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Generic but it's got great photography. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member High quality compact western with good production values and an excellent cast. Robert Ryan, a tremendous actor, is fine as a man on the right side of the law here. For someone who could play venality like few others he was equally adapt at portraying men of conscience due to an inner core of integrity. The rest of the cast is full of familiar faces doing good work although Virginia Mayio is wasted again. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Standard Western with several characters from the past in Keystone confronting again in Kansas town. Law and order must be restored when local saloon proprietor seeks to rid the town of the marshal. Robert Ryan in familiar territory. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
