Critic Reviews

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The unconvincing plodding conclusion and heavy-handed plot line handicaps the exciting action sequences.
Sean Axmaker, Seanax.com
This cut-rate 1964 western,... shows off [William] Witney's talent for creating dynamic dramas with highly-charged conflicts on a budget.
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
It's a pity the film didn't explore the character relationships in anything more than cursory fashion, the film soon falling into tired action clichés.
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
For fans of old-fashioned Westerns, it isn't bad, and at least it knows which side to take.
