Critic Reviews
-
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
There is hardly any pretense of action or suspense as the characters move, almost aimlessly, through an open landscape, testing each other's strengths and weaknesses through conversations that become psychological chess games.
-
Michael E. Grost, Classic Film and Television
Richly styled Western with some of the most sympathetic characters in Budd Boetticher.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
Perhaps the best in the "Ranown" series, alongside Seven Men from Now, Ride Lonesome one never once strikes a wrong note.
-
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Beautifully scripted by Burt Kennedy, with excellent performances all round as the characters evolve through subtly shifting loyalties and ambitions, it's a small masterpiece.
