Audience Member Well worth watching. Yes I recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas June 5, 2023. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed it. It is an excellent Cowboy movie. To bad today's audiences are too damn dumb to enjoy it. No nudity. No cussing. No CGI. Just cowboys. And what is wrong with that? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review don s Another vehicle to show off Wayne's size and strength. These are so short, the stories are too simple lacking suspense and intrigue. Worth a look though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member above average B movie western Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Cheaply made B movie, but it's still John Wayne.
