Critic Reviews
-
Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion
An astringent naturalism forever on the verge of the hallucinatory
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
While following Western genre custom with strong chase scenes as expected, what leaves an unforgettable impression is showing how frontier monotony was really such a drag.
-
Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan
Overrated moody western starring Nicholson
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, San Francisco Examiner
More conventional (but no less brilliant)[than The Shooting].
-
Scott Weinberg, Apollo Guide
Young Jack Nicholson shines in this tense western potboiler.
