Critic Reviews

  • Nell Minow, Common Sense Media

    Good movie about the consequences of our choices.

  • Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    Gregory Peck is in top form as Johnny Ringo in Henry Koster's brooding psychological Western about a doomed gunslinger who wants to lay the guns down.

  • Michael H. Price, Fort Worth Business Press

    Henry King's, and Gregory Peck's, best sagebrusher -- bar none.

  • Dean M


    Terrific western drama of the deadiest shot in the Old West who returns to his old hometown and resumes his family together.

  • Jonny C


    Good western. Gregory Peck plays notorious gunfighter Jimmy Ringo, who gets challenged by every wannabe at every turn. The Gunfighter has a similar story to High Noon, but without any gunfights and a tense finale, it's a lot less memorable. Overall well worth your consideration… More
