| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyOne of Aldrich's finest films, this underestimated Western presents a bleak yet intelligent portrait of the racial warfare of the white men vs. Native Americans and also serves as effective and damning allegory of the American involvement in Vietnam. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA superior western though somewhat ponderous and its action sequences are formulaic. |
| User ReviewJeremiah LBrutal, bloody western about the Apache wars. Called the best western made about the Veitnam war. Burt Lancaster is fantastic. |
| User ReviewTom HOne of the best realistic westerns out there. Portrays the apache as they REALLY were and not some toned down hollywood version. |
| User ReviewJames WGreat movie. Gets even better with time. Missed these old Western movies. Burt Lancaster was a great actor. |
| User Reviewjames nlove this movie could watch it over and over |
| User ReviewRichard PWell written western. Ulzana is long time in the agency. His power very thin. Smell in his nose is old smell of the agency. Old smell. Smell of woman, smell of dog, smell of children. Man with old smell in the nose is old man. Ulzana came loose for new smell. Pony running, the smell of burning, the smell of bullet - for power! |
| User ReviewDavid BExcellent Vietnam-era Revisionist Western by Robert Aldrich and staring the great Burt Lancaster (who only got better with age.) Bleak and brutal; intelligent and exciting. Highly recommended (though the DVD is OOP and I had to watch it on VHS.) |
| User ReviewPrivate UBrutal and uncomfortable, but all the more interesting for it. |
| User ReviewWill CHow is this movie so obscure and unrated? It's raw, bloody, and brutal. Also a Vietnam allegory! Thank you for making us watch this, Drew Casper. |
