| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSiegel gets the most out of this routine formulaic revenge Western as he can. |
| User ReviewClay BI loved it! It's one of the few westerns that is in my top 10 |
| User ReviewOrlok Wvery nice western ! audie murphy have a charisma ! it's simple story with action ! And the atmosphere is perfect for this kind of movie ! I have love it ! |
| User ReviewZoran SAn excellent example of why Siegel was a fantastic director. Here he elevates generic B-Western material and turns it into a tense action movie. Solid direction and a young Lee Marvin! |
| User ReviewJohn R170425: Neat villains including the beautiful but nasty Opal Lacy (Faith Domergue) and Johnny Sombrero (Eugene Iglesias). A bit shocking to see Opal at work the first time. Just doesn't seem to fit with a 1950s western. Lee Marvin stars as Tinhorn Burgess and Luke Cromwell (Audie Murphy) looks almost as good as his horse sporting a dual holster rig. Wasn't a big fan of the narration but liked this film's darker nature and focus on gun fighting. Plays like a 40s detective film noir. Got a kick out of all the nicknames. |
| User ReviewBen SThis entertaining Western doesn't have anything substantial to say, but it sure is a lot of fun. |
