A forgettable western that is flatly directed by Ray Nazarro.

Rated: C+

The premise is promising, but it falls into too many Fifties Western conventions; the clean-cut hero, the chases, the fist fights... there's a woman in it, and she's got moxie but she's still a woman in a Fifties adventure film and is therefore good for very little. That said, it did keeps my interest.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Short western, but the story is effective enough. It's quite ordinary and commercialised with native unrest and double-crossings galore.
