MCT:May 23, 2008a gritty, realistic drama that was very underrated at the time. makes you think differently of sean connery. features some nice symbolic cinematography too. never goes for the jugular, but very solid all around.

MCT:September 1, 2006Very good - Sean Connery does so well in this film on the Irish settlers in America - Harris is once again, the best any actor could possibly be in taking his role.

MCT:June 23, 2006When this film made its now famous failure in the box office, Paramount Pictures had just been bought out by Gulf Western Industries in 1966 and were looking for a bold new direction in the studio. Needless to say, these kinds of results were not satisfactory and it was no surprise by then that the awards were not flowing as they had only decades before.
Regardless of certain exceptions (Godfather I & II, Harold and Maude and last but not least, Nashville) they began to fall and films like this were of the cause. Though ambitious, full of lively dialogue and strong performances - it is an average reproduction of the American Irish gangs and the long since abandoned issues of the mining obstacles for the immigrants.
With no side to chose from as every character seems more or less rotten and chaotic, the film simply does not have an audience nor a real genre to acquire thus it floats abyss in the Hollywood vaults of forgotten failures, sometimes also considered the hall of 'could-have-been-greats'.
